What a Summer

Hi everyone !, with a weekly podcast I'm not sure if doing a blog also is necessary, or good or bad. It's on the web site, so I can't see it sitting there with an old date on it.  This summer was something fantastic.  Going back to the summer place for a wonderful week, with the Wife, Kids, parents, was perfect, just too short.  But we had to set off for Spain, it was a great two weeks, but we were definately ready for home.  The Comedy Benefit shows, specifically my homecoming show, turned out perfect.  After planning these shows for over eight months, there was a lot to coordinate, and keep track of.  It was a very emotional and rewarding trip.  Seeing so many friends and family.  Many friends I hadn't seen for 30 years.  Raising money for my fallen classmates was great, and very sad to reflect on them being taken so young.  So many of the hometown folks came together, to raise money in their honor.  It was really special to be able to have Mike Marino headline the shows !,, he was unbelievably terrific, as expected !!  We have to do it again next year, and what a great problem we have, in needing a bigger venue, we had to stop marketing the Caledonia show and turn people away.. I can't stop thanking enough my Caledonia people who came through for the show.  Loree Harrington, Bob Blair, Jim Guillen, everyone at the Caledonia Country Club, you all were awesome !. Back to rehearsing and writing for my week in Reno, at the Silver Legacy Casino, opening for Mike Marino.
