Gaudere res seria est. Loosely translated from Latin in our Abridged Too Far Dictionary, that means: Having fun is serious business. Please note that it does not translate from old German to mean: “I’ve got sauerkraut in my lederhosen.” Actually, it’s the motto of the Mystical Township of Grace, Washington, a place unlike any other town in America. Perhaps it might even be the off-center of the known universe. What follows is a compilation of columns culled from the Greater Grace Gazette’s disgustingly dusty archives that will provide insight into the comings and goings and doings of the town’s sometimes zany and occasionally self-important residents and interlopers. It is hoped they will make you agree that having fun is serious business indeed. Warning: Not for the Humor Impaired.
