Dear Dr. Crane,

Thank you for agreeing to correspond with me through PM. Something seems different this time, but I think I hit the right button. I guess let me know if you don't get this. And yes, I'm typing while laying on my couch just like you suggested. I think it's helping already.

Anyway, I'm writing today because I'm feeling insecure again. It's not about my looks this time, as I have been looking in the mirror each morning and telling myself how handsome I am, just as you suggested. No, I'm feeling insecure about my sense of humor.

I don't know exactly why, but yesterday Mr. Moth3r made fun of my comedic skills. Specifically, he said my humor was "borderline." To give you a frame of reference, he also said that Biff was "funny," which is just shocking to me. Biff just shows up once every six months and calls someone a butthead. Meanwhile I'm on the front line every day, risking the slings and arrows, just to make people's lives a wee bit more entertaining. I felt like I was succeeding in this task, but now I'm filled with doubt and a bit of self-loathing.

I told a few jokes to the mirror this morning, but my reflection did not laugh once.

Thanks for your help as always. And I hope your brother is feeling better. He's probably faking it for the attention,lol.

Yours,
Ric
