About YTP:

Really? You want to commit to this? Ok. Here goes.

This blog is about yielding to the things pedestrian, the everyday small but wonderful stuff in life. You know, stopping to smell the roses, enjoy the day, listen to the birds, and all that jazz.

On a more cosmic level, it is also about acknowledging the power of one individual, one small person walking along, and their ability to change things. Yes, I know. That’s very deep. Profound even.

But most important of all? The title of this blog is a great and irresistible opportunity to use a pun. I cannot resist a good pun. I can sense you screwing up your face in a grimace of disdain.  Puns? That low-brow form of humor?

I, too, once thought ill of the pun. I would think, “Aren’t puns the jokes people make when they can’t muster something funny to say?”

Then I married YTP Spouse, whose entire family thrives on a humor based almost solely on puns.  And I found out that puns, like many a communicable disease, are highly contagious, and stay with you for life.  And, also like communicable diseases, a proclivity for puns explains a lot about people. That man laughing quietly to himself in line? A case of the puns. Your spouse interrupting the flow of cocktail party chitchat for a good self-chuckle? Puns. The groans from the table next to you at the restaurant? A severe episode of the puns.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the good jokes and the bad, the interesting and the amusing. That’s what YTP is all about!
