Good news, good jokes, good night's sleep

It's surprising what a person can come up with in the middle of the night. With my apparent aversion to a decent nights sleep I've learned to fill the time with various activities. I pour over the newspaper and glean every bit of information it has to offer. From sports to want ads, front page news and local events to the comic section, I must know all there is to know about my part of this world. But as much as I enjoy the newspaper, that can last just so long. There is still more empty time so I turn to the good old reliable computer. Sometime I come across a gem or two worth passing on.

My search for the best joke in the world has taken me through some pretty sad as well as excellent humor. Passing from one site to another many old jokes were repeated over and over again. I'm sorry to say that there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of pretty lousy statements that attempt to pass for humor. However, on the other hand there are some real funny jokes out there and I get a good laugh out of them. I haven't run across what I believe to be the best joke yet. But, if you enjoy good clean jokes you may want to look around this site I've been checking out. www.danggoodjokes.com The best one so far was called cheap therapy. Look it up once you are on there.

An article in the newspaper directed me toward another site that was uplifting, especially in the middle of the night. I have an aversion to the TV news lately, in particular to the national shows. It seems they don't have much of anything good to report and it doesn't make for much of a positive view of the world and our future in it. I still believe there is much more good than bad and it's frustrating at times that only the bad is reported. The article mentioned this site: www.gnn.com It means good news now. The site is filled with news of every day importance and it's centered around good stuff and people. It provides a good balance of information and lots of good stuff to think about while settling down for a good nights sleep. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about..........Joe
