Writing political satire songs is one way I’ve survived the madness of the last many years. I wrote a parody of Little Boxes after reading the indictment Saturday morning. It wrote itself! If we couldn’t laugh at it, we’d be crying all the time!

Thanks for your stories of the forum in Oslo - I wouldn’t have heard of it otherwise.

Being on calm waters is very relaxing so I'm sure you appreciated that. Beautiful photos. Satire is one of my favorite forms of humor so I hope there is a lot more of it concerning Trumpty Dumpty. The Oslo forum sounds fascinating and great for you to be able to see some international friends. Never heard of it before so it was nice to have you make reports and, of course, cartoons!

I love reading your perspective on cartooning and humor. Oslo looks beautiful. I got through the last presidency by focusing on political comedians. It definitely helped. Unfortunately, the political landscape is not looking good right now, so humor is still vital. Seeing your column every day is helping.
