Foggy Headed Blues

Hoping to make it to the 10pm open mic at Look ah Hookah smoke shop in Rochester last night… The snow still falling and the wind blowing off the lake were enough to persuade me not to make the hour drive…

Sleeping in ‘til 9am… Something rare in a house with three dogs and a cat… And waking up this morning to stillness not often found here on the lake this time of the year… The wind was calm and sky was clear, so despite the 0 degree temperature, dressed for the cold I headed out for a walk with my boys…

Advised by my doctor to get more exercise… And just over two weeks away from my 54th birthday… The only iron I pump these days… Comes in a vitamin bottle… So the 3.5 miles of “old man exercise”… Walking my three dogs everyday I’m home, will have to do…

Recent back problems brought on by too many hours sitting behind my steering wheel, while reminding me to move about more often, have also limited my movement… No, not those movements… The juice bars at the old folks homes I’ve been playing comp me all the Metamucil I can drink…

Watching the weather channel, I’m hoping the winter storm terrorizing the southeast right now is a thing of the past soon… Heading to an audition at the Comedy Caravan in Louisville, KY Thursday February 11th… Then featuring at the Comedy Zone in Lynchburg, VA on Friday the 12th, and back home for a show in Cato, NY Saturday the 13th… Yes, I’ll be home for Valentine’s Day!!!

The following week… I’ll be doing a guest set at Dr. Grins in Grand Rapids, MI on Thursday the 18th (My Birthday, btw) then featuring in Howell, MI Friday the 19th and Mt. Pleasant, MI Saturday the 20th… I’ve been playing Michigan so often lately I’m afraid of turning into a Lions fan, just when the Bills finally get good again…

I’m hoping to get enough video this month to piece together a DVD to help defray gas costs during my Midwest comedy run

The recent change in my “old man” medicine by the doctors at the VA has often left me feeling more than a bit foggy headed… I’m hoping to adjust to it soon… I’ve only had three beers the last month and a half… And if that’s the way I’ve got to go through life… They better be pouring tall ones!!!

There are still two February weekends I need to fill with comedy work, I’m hoping to get enough video this month to piece together a DVD to help defray gas costs… Before I head south again for a few months of nuclear contract work in Georgia and Alabama… I’m trying to tie in a few appearances in front of the “red neck cock suckers” while I’m there… I finish my spring contract work with a week in Illinois and then starting a two-month Midwest comedy run through Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and points yet to be determined… During which I hope again to accumulate some good video footage…

I’m also hoping to spend the first week of June in Chicago taking part in the Snubfest Comedy Festival… And maybe when I return we’ll finally get the full length DVD “Expecting Criticality @ Anytime” recorded and have it available for sale…

Ok, that’s enough for now I’ve still got some calendar to get filled…
