A WEEK IN THE LIFE

What a week! I laughed, I cried, I.................

Brett, your quiet confidence was on full bright and I hope you felt it as much as I sensed it. I even laughed at and for the first time appreciated, "Fist fuck the Queen". Remember the little people Brett.

Welcome back to my world Dre. You have a way of making me feel special and I truly appreciate you for that.

Farewell Mr. Young Hot Guy. Yummy.

A brilliantly lit, toasty spring evening at the ball diamond, giggling with my teen, was the setting for a grand event. I was awash in the warm and fuzzies when my child detailed how alike we are, "Mom, we're the same person"and sounded proud. I could relive that evening over and over and never tire of it.

Buckle up all lackadaisical, established comedians. I believe you best be getting out the quill and reaching back to the days when you actually wrote jokes and cared about your chosen profession. The hungry, eager gang that hit the stage for our Comedy Idol final have their ambitious eyes on your jobs and they are talented. Don't say I didn't warn you.

To my newbies: The evening was a blur. I was stricken with nerves as each of you took the stage to be appraised by the audience, the judges, your peers and ultimately, yourselves. My emotions ebbed and flowed as you threw down your best and waited for the verdict. I may have outdone myself in the "Mother Hen" character that night, as I felt the pain and joy with you. At the end of the day, I'm filled with pride as you all showed tremendous growth and potential. I can't wait to see what the future brings for you. Well done.

My heart breaks for my dear friend that found his rock bottom. No, nevermind. This will have it's own post.

This brings me to today. Our Hollywood guy is here and I'm thrilled to find that he is still a humble, kind human. The bonus is that he is funny. Damn funny. It's heartening to know that we're one of the few clubs he'll still play and that our city has come out in droves to watch him have fun at work. My staff have performed herculian tasks to ensure that this event is a success and I am grateful for that.

Now I must be off to preside over my sold-out shows. And then sleep. Much, much sleep.
