Snow Day (7 Stories)

Loading Share Buttons...

Ever have one of those well-planned days that got buried in a snow storm so big that everything else was cancelled?

Perhaps it gave you a free fun day off from school or work? Or a bad day of stress, maybe during a long road trip when your car said, “That’s it, I’m done!”

Or at the Bemidji, Minnesota airport when you should have landed in Chicago?  Either way, did the day play out for better or worse?

Life has always had its stressors,  but since the advent of extreme national divisiveness,  Covid, and wars that keep popping up,  the world seems out to give us all a nervous breakdown.

What have been some of your most stressful times or stress-provoking events?  And what have been your coping strategies?

Comedy,  it seems,  has always been with us.  Human comedy probably began with paleolithic misfits, shamans, and fools who were useless in the hunt but beloved for their ability to inspire laughter.

Who are your favorite comedians past and present, male and female? Do they make fun of themselves?  Of others?

Comedy is difficult.  Have you ever evoked laughter - either on purpose or unintentionally?

Anyone who has a driver’s license obviously once passed a driving test. Did you pass your first time? Your second? Were you confident or nervous with someone in the passenger seat judging your every move?
