Years ago, when our girls were away at summer camp, there was an expectation to write a few letters a week as a sign of our unparalleled parental affection.

This chore/joy was especially hard because my pen pals were giving you very little to riff on: "Went to pottery today. WRITE ME BACK!". Likewise, their Dad’s contribution: “Say Hi!”. Never are you more aware of how dull your daily life is than when you have to encapsulate it every second day. The camp letters became the repository for any manner of stories, observations and not-so-deep thoughts. These proved popular at the time, and have since had recurring and unexpected applications over the (many) intervening years. Sometimes the various recipients needed a distraction, a mojo loan, a reminder to laugh at life - or on (very) rare occasions some actual thoughtful message or life lesson (usually in the form of learning from my mistakes). And so "HilarWithUs" stories became a thing, under various names and for limited people.

And now?

Now, I am sending these miscellaneous musings off into the ether. There are no goals or expectations. They are simply out there to be found and, hopefully, enjoyed.

So if you found them…

Welcome.

Enjoy ;)
