Laughter can brighten your day, make you healthy
On Tuesday night at the Strand-Capitol, I couldn’t contain myself as eloquent words floated out of humor author David Sedaris‘ mouth. Did that taxidermy shop owner really tell David to touch the dead arm? Sedaris’ banter with his father reminds … Continue reading
