Good Morning Kossacks and Welcome to Morning Open Thread (MOT)
We're known as the MOTley Crew and you can find us here every morning at 7:00 am Eastern (and perhaps sometimes earlier!). Feel free to volunteer to take a day - permanently or just once in awhile. With the Auto Publish feature you can set it and forget it. Sometimes the diarist du jour shows up much later: that's the beauty of Open Thread...it carries on without you! Volunteer in the comment threads.
Click on the MOT - Morning Open Thread ♥ if you'd like us to show up in your stream.

"Don't Worry, Be Happy"
Bobby McFerrin, via Facebook:
...unexpectedly, it looked like Don't Worry Be Happy was going to number one, and the record company wanted me to make my first MTV video. Robin [Williams] called and asked if he could be in it, and it's a good thing, because I never would have dared to ask him. We had such a crazy non-stop day, Robin and Bill Irwin putting on crazy costumes and cracking each other up. The most fun ever on the planet. I hope people can feel it.
I hope where Robin is now there's endless freedom and joy and warmth and play and love. He'll fit right in.
