A Good Laugh
I was just chatting with a friend of mine and he was getting a bit stressed about all the things he has going on in his life right now. As usual, instead of actually helping, I simply cracked a joke. He laughed and said thanks for making him laugh. He needed that.
That got me thinking. It's been a long time since I last mentioned my short stories. In fact there are probably a lot of new readers out there that don't even know about them. So, here you go:
- Fat Kid Instincts
- Sour Revenge
- Grape Nuts of Wrath
- High Voltage Runs Through It
- Arc Welder for Hire
- OB/GYN 101 For Men
- Mezzo Farte
- Zipper Physics
- Hot Tub Basics for Dummies
- A Taste for Power

It's interesting that you say "instead of actually helping" when what you did was actually helping.
It's doubtful that you could have done anything meaningful about the situation, but giving your friend some distance from the issue for a moment probably was the best thing you could have done.
