Hi David,
You did it again. I'm sitting at my desk alone in my office laughing out loud while reading Monday Moanin'. These folks are starting to wonder about my mental health thanks to you and your witty way with words! Thanks for the laughs. I'm staying off elevators and taking the stairs because I'm sure I didn't have the correct answer to that question. Give my love to your wonderful family. Patty - Illinois
What a wonderful inspiring Monday Moanin'!! I just came in from a 4 mile walk and feel great, but I know tomorrow during my walk, I might look at things a little differently. You've definately started my week off with something to think about. Thanks!!! Sandy - Michigan
I first learned of you when a friend forwarded one of your Monday Moanin's to me. I loved it and signed up to receive them myself. I just wanted you to know that I truly look forward to them each week. Your thoughts and stories always bring a smile to my face! Cathy- Michigan
Thanks, as always, for an entertaining Monday Moanin' though we get it in the afternoon owing to the fact that we live in Kenya - now only 7 hours time difference - instead of 8. Interestingly, Europe changes their clocks about two weeks before the US. They are always ahead of the US - but we are ahead of you all and constant to boot!!!! Margaret -Nairobi, Kenya
Dear David, I think that is one of the more beautiful things I have read in recent memory. Thank you for including me on your mailing list. Matt - Michigan
Just got through reading Davids most recent Monday Moanin..it was brilliant and except for one small reference to the Seinfeld show, absolutely perfect. Why is this guy not writing a weekly column in the L.A.Times ? I,ve read hundreds of articles on the Kentucky Derby from icons such as Jim Murray but none any funnier or more descriptive.

This one has me laughing out loud. Thank you for the mental relief, and the reminder that life is what we make of it. From totally somewhere else.... Karen - Florida
What a GREAT Monday Moanin!!!! I really enjoy reading these and look forward to Monday Moanin. Keep writing. You make my Monday Mornings brighter. Terry- Michigan
David-
Every week I just marvel at your ability to take a simple act of painting a room, going fishing, cutting a Christmas tree, etc, and making it so darn funny and relateable! Keep sharing!! Heather- Iowa
Hi David
I am writing this with tears in my eyes. This mornings offering returned me to 1980 when I lost my father after a long struggle and it took me back to that moment when I too was looking out the window of time. I still can see the traffic flow by below and how slow it all seemed to pass by. As I was reading all of the emotions of that day begin to well up inside of me and I realized that even after 25 years they are not that far below the surface. It is you, my friend, who is the treasure!!! What a gift you have and I thank God that you are sharing it with so many. Thank You, John- Michigan
David-
I received a forward of your newsletter "Monday Moanin" and I would love to be added to your distribution list. I shed some tears as I am reminded of the simple things of life and how they are the true "gems" in life. I am a mother of 4 wonderful children and self-employed, many times I look at my business successes and forget the more important blessings I receive from my children & husband. Thanks for your words of encouragement. I am focusing on those "Roses" today!! Blessings to you, Gina - California
Reader's respond to "Life's funny"
"Fluoride Metamorphosis. I think she was in my homeroom." in your column made me laugh so hard I almost fell out of my chair. And, "...the birth certificate form had 15 spaces..." You are one funny man!
Mr. Smith, My favorite humorists have always been Mark Twain and Dave Barry. After reading your column for several months, my favorites are Mark Twain and David Smith. Sorry, you'll have to go some to replace Twain. I enjoy all of your columns, and look forward to the Tuesday Flint Journal. Today's column is the best ever, it is hysterical. Keep 'em coming. Marsha from Metamora
"You are SO funny! I loved this weeks column...the pasty Michiganders! "
I love your columns! Not much of what I read makes me laugh out loud, but yours do. The one on "controlling the remote control best left to NASA engineers" also made me laugh out loud. I'll keep up with your columns, so keep writing the good stuff.
