Saturday March 9th, 2013 – Menomonee, MI Every time I think I’ve almost figured out this whole ‘comedy thing’, a rough show comes out of the blue to jolt me right back into reality. No matter how long anyone is in this game, there are going to be glit...
Sunday February 3rd, 2013 – Fox Lake, IL The Super Bowl without the Green Bay Packers in it is about as interesting to me as an electric guitar is to an Amish musician. I couldn’t care less who wins or loses, and if it were up to me I’d just as soon there be some...
Wednesday December 26th, 2012 – Reno, NV I always breathe a little easier on December 26th, knowing another Christmas is finally OVER. Some years are better than others, but for some reason this one was a nasty bastard. I would love nothing more than to ‘get over it&rs...
Tuesday December 25th, 2012 – Reno, NV It was a wonderful Christmas, mainly because I slept through most of it. I’ve hit it hard most of this whole year, and having one day to just sit around and do nothing was quite refreshing. I’m in a really nice room at the S...
Monday November 26th, 2012 – Fox Lake, IL I got a call from my cousin Brett today, and he’s at his lowest point. I was sorry to hear of what he was going through, but of anyone on the planet he could have called who could relate to every word of what he was saying it w...
Friday November 16th, 2012 – Champaign, IL In, out. Up, down. Back, forth. High, low. Life is a constant series of swinging pendulums, and I’m feeling one shift. I’ve been on a high for a quite while, but I feel an end coming to that wave - much to my extreme reg...
Friday September 7th, 2012 – Fox Lake, IL I always knew it, but it was really driven home yesterday how important it is to be face to face with good people to maintain relationships. Emails and phone calls are nice, but nothing beats an actual belly to belly visit. I’v...
Saturday January 14th, 2012 - Wauconda, IL Wauconda, IL? Comedy hot bed? Who’d of thunk it? Not me, that’s for sure. My friend Sally Edwards asked me to do a show at a place called ‘The Energee Center’, and I had to say yes for several reasons - the main one be...
Monday December 26th, 2011 - New Lenox, IL/Kenosha, WI December 26th is always one of my favorite days. Christmas is finally OVER, and life is back to whatever ‘normal’ is. Whatever that definition may be, life becomes much harder to plow through with the added pressure of...
Sunday December 25th, 2011 - Fox Lake, IL Another Christmas comes and goes. All that hype. All that decorating. Was it worth it? Are more people on our planet genuinely happier today than yesterday? Will there ever be peace on Earth, good will toward men? Or, is it Hell on Earth and m...
Monday December 19th, 2011 - Fox Lake, IL In the immortal words of Popeye the Sailor Man, “It’s all I can stands - I can’t stands no more.” That’s how I feel about Christmas and all that goes with it, and it’s only December 19th. I’m up to my ...
Thursday December 1st, 2011 - Chicago, IL Oh no, it’s starting. It may be in the early stages, but it’s definitely starting. I’m talking of course about that frightening foray into old age. Good bye partying, hello pudding. I’m a whole lot closer to Social Secu...
Monday November 21st, 2011 - Chicago, IL Well, I sure didn’t expect my morale and self esteem to dip down this low this quickly - and stay there for this long. I’ve had disappointments before, in fact a lifetime jam packed with them, but this particular setback sent me ove...
Sunday May 22nd, 2011 - Fox Lake, IL One thing I’ve been super blessed with in life is a stellar lineup of friends. I can’t be any more grateful for all of them, and I never want to take advantage of their kindness. I know how I try to be kind to people whenever I can, but...
Friday December 24th, 2010 - Cozumel, MX For a born and raised in Milwaukee card carrying cheese head, the greatest gift of all at Christmas is being able to walk around outside in the sunshine wearing only a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. That’s exactly what I did today and it p...
