Thought for the day: Humor. Today’s April Fool’s Day. I’ve noticed that having a good laugh can make all the difference. What makes you laugh? I thought ​THIS ​ joke about pajamas during shelter in place was funny. How about you? What makes you laugh? Find something that makes you smile today!

Announcements:
