    OMG – these are too, too great! I was feeling kind of bummed myself but can now put it in perspective :-0 Reminds me of a friend of my sister’s who would say, no matter what bad things happened to someone, “Well, it could be worse – you could be dead.” Well, some of us probably wonder if that would be worse!

    This is great! I was feeling really down today and now I have these videos and can feed on someone else’s bizarre sense of humor!

      Hi, Donna –

      I found these videos last year, and they never fail to give me a lift. He’s made quite a few over the last four years – you should check them out.
