Tuesday May 14th, 2013 – Milwaukee, WI Hooray for the mentors of the world. They provide insight and wisdom to those climbing up an invisible and often difficult ladder, and all too often their unselfish efforts go underappreciated or worse yet not appreciated at all. I for ...
Thursday November 22nd, 2012 – Kenosha, WI Here comes the holiday season, like it or not. I’ll be glad when it’s over, but I know millions of people love it so I hope it’s a good one for their sake. I just wish the whole thing wasn’t so damn omniprese...
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...
Friday November 25th, 2011 - Milwaukee, WI No comedy work this weekend, but I’m not upset. I could use the money, but I’ll take a chance to relax a little and recharge my batteries. I’ve been off my game lately and feeling pretty frazzled. It’s part of the ups ...
Thursday November 24th, 2011 - Fox Lake, IL I always consider every day to be Thanksgiving, and I mean it. With all the insanity I’ve endured, it’s truly a miracle that I’m still breathing. I should have been dead several times over by now, but even with all the bad ...
By: Tony Matera / twitter @WI_InsSolutions Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends to gather and give thanks for all they have. It is time for football, and of course plenty of good food. With all this food, it is no surprise that Thanksgiving is one of the top days for cooking acci...
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...
Tuesday November 23rd, 2010 - Grand Cayman Island I scoured the deepest crevices of my memory all day, and I just can’t seem to remember in all my years even one other time when I’ve ever had to do five shows in one single day. I was able to pull it off, but it took every ...
Monday November 22nd, 2010 - Somewhere At Sea An unexpected night off. The other comedian Happy Cole apparently had a glitch in his schedule, and has plans to be home for Thanksgiving with his family. Fine with me. I told both him and the cruise director I’m flexible and will do...
Thursday November 26th, 2009 - Wausau, WI Another Thanksgiving and the holidays are officially here. Actually, Halloween is when it really starts, but today is when it ramps up. I’ve been seeing Christmas decorations here and there and the radio is playing Christmas music ...
I ran across this story and thought you might enjoy it as well. It's an old Eastern European Jewish folktale, but also reminds me of stories from my native American heritage. The link leads you eventually to the google books page where you can read the short story. Happy Thanksgiving!...

The 40 Days and 40 Nights of 40: Day 8 Labor Day has come and gone, and our next holiday isn’t until Thanksgiving in November, when it will be “officially” fall. Where’s did the time go? On the up side, time does go by so very quickly as you get older.&nb...
Thursday November 27th, 2008 - Chicago, ILComedians are complainers by nature. It’s what we do. We see something that’s not the way it’s supposed to be (or at least how WE think it’s supposed to be) and we harp about it. We piss. We moan. We whine. We bellyache. Then (hope...
