Do you need a laugh about now? When even Utah needs a strong cup of coffee, you know it's a bad year. To offset the 2020 blues, we've rounded up the right humorists to pull us through. After all, we do all remember how to laugh. We are just a little out of practice. No more. It is high time we hear a funny tale or two. Grab this book and let the good times roll. Laugh out loud. You always wanted the neighbors to wonder what you are up to, right?

• Have you always wanted a book that has both Sasquatch and Hot Yoga in the mix? Hey, two stories in, and you can cross that off your list.

• When you are ready for the talk with your daughters, were you ever tempted just to send them to the public library? That doesn't happen in Utah, but there are places, or so we hear.

• A bit of western humor is always a change of pace. Have you ever heard of Butch Cassidy or Spur Nutcheck-the Bob Dylan of cowboy poetry? No? You'll read about both right here, not to mention learning the ins and outs (mostly outs) of rodeo scoring. Don't try this at home.

• Not to leave the romantics out of the fun, you will read about tall-trucks, fancy gowns, and a date gone wrong. And learn the mystique of Magical Wooing Water as could only happen in this state.

That's just a sample of how we are defeating gloom with laughter. There is a lot more humor in store for you in this collection. It is okay to laugh. We promise
