Monty Python

I guess I owe my odd sense of humor to my parents, especially my Dad. I grew up watching shows by Mel Brooks, Bob Newheart many of the other great comedy writers.I also watched many of the British comedy shows like Benny Hill and of course my all time favorite, Monty Python.

It goes without saying that I try to find humor in as many situations each day as I can. It really does help a person get over those bumps in the road that we all find.

So have a good laugh and enjoy life!
