"April 1st is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are the other three hundred and sixty-four days."    Mark Twain

There's been so much abuse of the truth, deception, and erosion of our trust in each other that April Fool's Day feels a bit dicey. And yet, laughter is more than the best medicine. Laughter is life.

Here are some fun facts about April Fool's and a handful of humorous tales.  I hope they give you laugh, and some perspective, and help you feel that you belong.

"The first of April, some do say,
is set apart for All Fool's day,
but why the people call it so,
Nor I, nor they themselves do know.
But on this day people are sent
on purpose for pure merriment."

---Poor Robin's Almanac (1760)
