It's the Little Things



 It’s the little things that make me laugh.  Sometimes after the fact I suddenly remember a silly thing that happened and laugh right out loud.  All by myself.  These moments are blessings.  They send those much sought-after endorphins to the rescue of a foggy brain.

For instance:

I performed a show for a community last week. Before the performance as I lingered at the reception table, I noticed a stack of small flyers they had created to promote my show.  I was looking at them upside down, but even so, the photo on it did not look like me.  I turned it around and the photo was absolutely not me.  I said to one of the committee members nearby, “That’s not me.”  She casually replied, “Oh we didn’t use your picture.  We just used a picture of a singer.”

Committee people.  Ya gotta love em.  (That’s one of those morning-after remembrances that caused a burst of laughter.)

And then there was this one:  My dear friend who shall remain nameless was creating a poster for a performance of a show called “AMERICA THRU SONG”.  I had suggested she might use a map as a background graphic to illustrate the idea of ‘traveling’ through America with song.  She emailed me a proof for my comments.  She had faded the map behind the singer’s photo so it wouldn’t be too distracting.  I zoomed in to get a better look at it and noticed the city of Munich.  It was a map of Germany.  

Good belly laughs from that one.

Then last week I went to a dinner show with a lady friend of mine. The two entertainers in the show are also friends and colleagues of mine, so at their request I performed a couple of songs with them during the show. Afterward I asked my lady friend to take a picture of me with the two of them.

Apparently she is still trying to master using a smart phone as a camera. I did not know this. The next morning I looked at my phone to see the photos.  Here are the two she took.........

Now THAT was good for a laugh!

I hope your day holds many moments of mirth that send those silly endorphins to your foggy brain too!
