This video went viral in 2013 and I posted it that year. It’s one of my favorite short vids, and since I’m on vacation, I decided to post it again. I hope it makes you laugh, or at least smile. I never get tired of watching poor Henri.
My heart is broken this morning due to the news that Carrie Fisher has died. I wish I had let her know what an inspiration she was to me, even if it was just through a letter. I would write more about her, but that’s going to have to wait for another day. I feel […]
