    I did Stand Up Comedy for the first time a week ago. It was one of the most enjoyable things I ever did and I was pretty proud of the performance. Every time I rewatch it I can't believe I did that. I think I will try some open mics here soon.

    I have an amazing vacation coming up in 6 weeks. We are going on a 2 week cruise from Barcelona to Venice, hitting a few cities on the French Riviera, several in Italy, Montenegro, and Split Croatia.

    A couple of months ago a new brewery opened up literally 400 feet from my house. The good thing is that the beer is good and they have food trucks. The bad thing is my street doesn't have much parking on Fridays.

    I went to my first Cubs game when they were playing the Mariners this week.

    Umm... oh yeah... I watched the most amazing Blazer game last night from buzzer to buzzer.

    I must have somewhere around 3 dozen bobble heads. I'm certain there's an Oden one among them. I've got an Oden jersey.

    Goal for the next year is to build a nice japanese garden complete with a small creek flowing to a pond with a couple pathway bridges over it.

    Gonna put that outside of the studio in this section of property...

    I made it into the 60's and survived the 60's. Married 42 years and have known Jan for 49 years. I survived a stroke and my savior is my wife. We both had surgeries with no cancer positive biopsies. My son now lives with us and that is cool cause he was married to a narcistic bi polar bitch.

    On the lighter side: I found a great chicken salad sandwich at this new deli, got a great boss in my ever expanding part time job, which I carry on as a building, housing and fire inspector.
    Of course, I am exuberant about the Blazers, Yankees and Ravens.

    My dudes, here was my comedy set. No one seemed to comment on it in random thread, and I assume that’s because no one saw it.

    That was really your first time? Impressive! I laughed several times. Wife yelled at me asking me what I was doing (shes still in bed, lol).

    Really like the pause and persona you had when you took a drink of water, coming back to the mic as if to say something but didn't. Not sure if planned, but that was really good. felt natural and really helped to bring an improv feel tro the who show, vs some scripted, mirror recital.

    Also. Your closer is classic. Had me crackin up about spoilers(without spoiling). ;)

    Keep doing it, you are good.

    I do and Ive seriously thought about it. But then there is also the chance of people hopping the fence to try to use it, as its a large property. Plus there is a school with hoops half a mile down my road.

    I think I'm going to talk to the church next door and see if they would be willing to partner up on putting a basketball court next to the playground they have on their property. If they forked up the land, Id pay to have it built. They aren't that expensive.

    It was. I took a Stand Up class. It was basically 2 classes and then this show. So I worked on it a lot knowing my friends would all be there. I’m going to try to keep at it

    Not for that performance. Not needed. Just a crown to go with his throne for being the King of Comedy around here!

    @KingSpeed and @Sedatedfork should start the S2 Comedy Jam Tour!!!
