Two things about Seamore. One, where most of the news we read these days is bad or sad, it was refreshing to have a little miniseries on the abduction and recovery of Seamore the gorilla. Cute story. Happy ending.

Two , the photo of the kids riding in the back of the pickup with Seamore… well, that’s a parade of sorts, don’t you think, with a police escort and people along the route waving and all?

With all of today’s crushing news, it was good to have a story to make some of us smile.
