Lockdowns looming? Jackson Hole convening? New mask mandates coming? As serious as the situation is purporting to be, we all would be well advised to keep our state of amusement.

Ms. Fitts, There are more funny movies than I can remember but here are my suggestions:
Rocketman 1997 (Harland Williams does a good rendition of “When you wish upon a star”)
Mr. Mom1983 (Michael Keaton)
Mrs. Doubtfire 1993 (Robin Williams)
John Candy: 1987 Planes, Trains, & Automobiles; 1989 Uncle Buck; 1985 Summer Rental; and more.
My Cousin Vinny 1992 (Joe Pesci & Melissa Tomei)
Men In Black 1 1997 (Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith) May not be the funiest but depends on your sense of humor. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones work well together in this movie.
Thank you for being here for all of us.
