Honest, un-sappy joys! Love this: : “I miss going to the movies. Leaving the house to see a movie. Especially comedies. Sitting in the dark with strangers, all of us laughing at the same thing. I like that.”

Thanks, Fern and Joe. From your first to your last thoughts - this column is a keeper. Love the poem by Gwendolyn Brooks and the picture of Joe and Joey! Each is perfect in their own way.

Thank you! I like this. I feel like I am visiting with you in person. Speaking about in person. I am reading Kitchen Arabic and wishing you would come and cook for me.

Thanks for this. I especially loved the first story & thought it was hilarious. It made me laugh out loud. It reminded me of my mother’s extremely dry Irish humor. She’d say something funny but never crack a smile until after she spoke with her very dry Irish wit & then she would smile & her eyes would twinkle.

Thank you, Fern & Joe. This was the perfect column to read tonight. It gave me a much needed break from the news, plus you got me thinking about what brings me joy! Good to have a new focus.
