I recently discovered that humorist Dave Barry, seen in the photograph above that I took at a book signing event at Denver's Tattered Cover Bookstore back in 2017, is once again writing a weekly column. Barry wrote a syndicated weekly humor column for the Miami Herald from 1983 to 2005, when he decided to take an indefinite leave of absence to spend more time with his family. And then decided not to come back at all. He still writes his annual Christmas gift guide and year-in-review columns, and occasional articles on special events such as the Republican and Democratic National Conventions and the Winter and Summer Olympics but otherwise has spent his time writing humor books and comic novels. But now he is writing a once-a-week column on Substack, an online platform for journalists and writers, among other things which are too complex for me to think about right now. But the main thing is that you can now read his laugh-out-loud humor columns every week - and for free - which during these difficult times is a truly wonderful thing.
