Just for fun (includes cannolis)
Issue # 118 | Date May 8th 2026 | Previous issuesHey Reader, This week’s newsletter is just for fun. Because don't we all need to laugh a little more? 🤣 Humor is subjective. When everyone else is laughing, I'm usually not. Then when I'm laughing, everyone else is blinking. My humor tends toward dark, occasionally silly, and quite often based on real-life events. Which brings me to a little story I wrote with the help of my friend ChatGPT. It was inspired by my friend Jeannette, who is one of my favorite people in the world. If you knew her, you'd understand why. You'd love her too. But since you may not know her, I'll tell you that she oozes kindness and compassion. Occasionally, she brings my family cannolis from Queens—which means they are made by real Italians. Possibly Sicilians, who arguably make the BEST cannolis. Let's agree that cannolis are impossible to refuse and dangerous to overeat. One cannoli is euphoric. Two are bliss. Three cannolis are where a woman learns humility. That gave birth to the word pannoli, and somehow, a silly story was born. You can download and read it here: Forget the Metaphor, Take the CannoliFair warning: this story contains Italian relatives, body drama, pastry, and one invented word of questionable dignity. If you don't find it funny, I hope you'll forgive me. Humor is a risky business. With love, Anna P.S. No cannolis were harmed in the making of this story. Only my dignity. |

Issue #125 | June 26, 2026 | Previous issues Hey Reader, Yesterday, my friend Nicole and I went for a walk and saw two turkey vultures munching on carrion. Yum, lol, for them. I wasn't raised in a time when Google was at your fingertips and info was accessible anytime, anywhere. It has taken me awhile to get used to whipping out my phone and doing research on the spot. I'm used to having to wait for answers. I'm used to planning trips to the library where I had to search for the right book to...
Issue #124 | June 19, 2026 | Previous issues Hey Reader, I'm going to keep this short and sweet. At least I'll try. lol I've been saying a phrase to myself recently that has been saving me a lot of stress. It's not exactly a mantra. It's more like a simple instruction for my nervous system and brain to follow. I'm sure if you tried to count how many irritating situations you encounter in a day, you'd run out of fingers and toes. Don't bother thinking too hard on that one. Instead, I want you...
Issue #123 | June 12, 2026 | Previous issues Hey Reader, It's hard to look around the planet and think of humans as crowned dust. I like to "joke" that we're devolving as a human race. Overall, we humans look pretty pathetic in the grand scheme of things. War. Poverty. Violence. Domestic and child abuse. Politics. Pollution. And these are just samples. I often wonder why we spend billions of dollars searching space for more intelligent life, because if superior beings DO exist, the last place...
