Humor

I received the following note from a colleague on my last day:

It was really a highlight, even with the short time we strudel in the hall-way or in conference, with your utmost support is well appreciated.

His wishes are sincere and well-intentioned. I appreciate his message to me. Even more I appreciate the humor. For the life of me I cannot figure how we 'strudel' in the hall. So after a good laugh and a consultation of the on-line Urban Dictionary, I am reminded how important humor is to us. I don't intend to trivialize people or situations, but laughing keeps me going. Shared humor has been very important to me with my friends and colleagues. As a gag gift at my good-bye party I got a picture of Coach Belichick from my colleagues in IT. They were teasing me about liking the Patriots and not the Colts. It was another good laugh, though it looks like Bill doesn't get the joke.

I hope I can keep humor during retirement and that continued laughter is not another myth.
