Eleven Percent
Monday November 2nd, 2009 - Chicago, IL   Back at Zanies in Chicago after a week off. It felt good to get back in a groove but I’m wrestling with the same issues I’ve always had with time management. I spent all day at home working on tedious but necessary tasks like sorting...

Hard Luck Jollies
Tuesday October 20th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL   It’s time for a new CD. I recorded a whole week of shows at Zanies in Chicago in 2007 and I tried to do every scrap of material I’d ever done so I’d have variety to choose from. I was hoping to cut it up into two, maybe thr...

The Turbanator
Monday August 10th, 2009 - Chicago, IL   I’m still riding the high from the whole radio experience in Kenosha last night. It wasn’t the actual show itself, even though that was totally fun. It’s the collective vibe of each one of the people that all fit together. I&rsq...

The Biggest Night Of My Life
Wednesday July 22nd, 2009 - Chicago, IL   The dented can has landed! What an emotion packed experience today was and it took a lifetime of hellacious struggle to both achieve and appreciate it. Had I known back when I started it would be this difficult I have to say I may not have made ...

A Thrill And A Drill
Tuesday July 21st, 2009 - Chicago, IL   Got the magic word today from the new talent coordinator that my spot is scheduled for tomorrow night, July 22nd. She asked me for intro information and said it still my change but as of now that’s when it was scheduled to go. This is the fi...

Life's A Glitch
Friday July 17th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL   Life has never been simple, at least not for me. There’s always been some kind of glitch that shows up out of nowhere to let me know I need to stay humble. Alright already. I get the message. Can’t we move on? Don’t I have more...

An All Star Cast
Tuesday July 14th, 2009 - Chicago, IL/Milwaukee, WI   My life flashed before my eyes today and I wasn’t even near death. This was the kind of day that happens once in a dozen years or maybe more. It was an action packed constantly moving non stop stimulation of all my senses, and ...

Richard Simmons Rocks
Monday July 13th, 2009 - Chicago, IL  As I was thinking about what I wanted to accomplish in my life I thought of other people who have done something similar to what I want to do. Rodney Dangerfield pulled off his biggest successes much later in life than most people do. So did Willie Nelso...

Up For The Down Stroke
Saturday June 20th, 2009 - Chicago, IL   I don’t know why, but for some reason I was kind of bummed out today. The weather is spectacular and this is the prime time of year. Normally that alone cheers me up but today I was feeling a funk coming on and not the kind I like. In fact ...

Dusting Off Uranus
Thursday June 11th, 2009 - Chicago, IL   In my distant half baked brief study of numerology I can remember the 11th and the 22nd  of each month are supposed to be the power days. Whether it’s true or not I felt a creative surge today so no matter where it came from or what ca...

No Bad News Today
Thursday May 21st, 2009 - Appleton, WI   Good vibes are bouncing off the walls this week and I’m not complaining. I’m enjoying the spring weather and everything else about my experience here in Appleton so far. If the whole comedy business was like this we’d all be in ...

Wheels And Deals
Saturday April 25th, 2009 - Waukegan, IL   Cruddy weather today. April showers are supposed to bring May flowers but this kind of nastiness only brings head colds and the flu. What really rots is driving in this kind of slop because the temperature is just right so car windows get foggy...

Saturday Night Heaver
Saturday April 4th, 2009 - Kansas City, KSSaturday night is supposed to be THE night in the comedy business. I would assume it’s that way for theatre, improv, live music and probably every other kind of entertainment as well. It’s the main night people go out and it’s usually to...

Hard Work Working Harder
Thursday February 26th, 2009 - Vernon Hills, ILI didn’t think I was obsessive or compulsive but I’m starting to think I’m turning over a new leaf. I can’t keep my paws off this TV set and I’m finding myself getting really into it more than I have about anything in a ...
