Introduction	Laughing is the most important thing - it keeps me sane. I hang out with people who make me laugh. I almost always only send funny cards. If I laugh out loud in the store - I buy the card. Writing is the next most important thing. I belong to a local writing group and to an on-line group: Zoetrope. Both are immensely helpful.
