Got joy?
I wanted to get the domain name joy.com but it's already taken. Not by a peace-love-joy feel good institution, but an actual business, Joy Global. They sell mining machinery. The name comes from the company founder, Joseph Francis Joy. Joe Joy.
He was an inventor. The company was founded in 1919 and still going strong. I think it has to do with the name. I want to buy stock in Joy Global.
"Joy has the largest distribution and support network in the industry."
I can dig it.
I also know in this letter, our Friday Happy Mail, we're building our own joy support network. Thanks for the help in distribution.

Lyrics to love....
well, time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of
glory days

There is no remedy for love
but to love more.

In life and in love, take the leap. It may be scary but oh how exhilarating. We only regret the things we didn't do.

In honor of The Boss's birthday, a little dancing in the dark.
This video and Born in the USA album were hugely popular in London in the 80s. I enjoyed the irony but mostly I enjoyed a Scottish lad at the LIVE AID concert (yes, I was there, Wembley, July 13, 1985) (yes, so was Princess Diana; she waved at me) (yes, I lead a charmed life) thought I was the American model in the vid and bought me beverages all day.
We Harlemites know that young Courtney Cox in the video bears a strong resemblance to Julie Kramer.

WORD NERD
Ingurgitate (verb)
Pronunciation: [in-'g�r-j�-teyt]
Definition: To gulp, gobble, eat greedily in excessive amounts.
Usage: The noun of today's word is "ingurgitation," the adjective "ingurtitative," and someone who ingurgitates would be an ingurgitator.
Suggested Usage: "Gulp" is such a short word; "gobble" is something turkeys do. Next time your children eat too fast, say, "Please don't ingurgitate your food."
"Ingurgitation leads to regurgitation."

Last week I asked:
"I Will Always Love You"
Dolly or Whitney? Cast your vote.
Hands down, Dolly was the winner. Tip of the hat to the songwriter.
