a whole bunch of good news
Here’s my good news, my Dear Wife and I are dancing to the oldies in the kitchen. Day drinking will do that to ya’.
My daughter noticed that we listen to radio news more now, and that it is all bad news. So she requests that I do “Radio Good News”, complete with it’s own theme music, and handoffs from daddy in the studio to her and her brother reporting from the field. They sometimes do “mommy on the street” interviews to find out if passing moms have any good news.
The kids are alright.
As long as they ask from 6 feet away! “HEY, NEIGHBOR MOM! TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD!!!”
There’s something pretty relatable with a not-newsreader trying to play one from memory.
…but I want to cry more than I want to laugh, when the irrational actions of uninformed lackwits makes it so toilet paper becomes a special treat to gift a stranger with. Not to quibble, but that’s slighly less awful news, rather than good news.
Hmmm… the lame pun where World Health Organization shares an acronym with the rock band, has me wondering what kind of song the Who might have released that sould like something that the WHO might say. Makes me wish I knew more classic rock music.
Loved every second of that, down to the steel drum song, and the eye roll from the missus.
in other news: karen is better than pam
Wilson from Home Improvement was just ahead of his time
I hear that. But hope you can take at least a little solace. It’s the heartfelt actions of people trying to help out in the way that’s needed in the moment that is the good news, think of that part of it. Made me cry but in that teary, “oh, it’s so lovely to see people being good to each other” way.
Wait…he always had something terrible to add at the end of his pronouncements.
