| Introduction | Humor is my hobby & first love: writing & doing some stand-up/sketch comedy.
The recipe? Think. Write. Edit. Rewrite. Practice. Perform. Giggle. Review. Relax. Rinse. Re-edit. Repeat. Feast. Rest. (Being funny takes lots of work.) - - - - Friends count on me to bring food to parties. I hang out near the dip. Always. And usually make new friends there, too. Daily To Do List: *Follow politics semi-bemusedly *Avoid the gym strenuously *Laugh aloud, make someone else smile *Take long, aimless, urban hikes,(that's code for I get lost a lot). "People mean more to me than things." "The older I get, the less I believe my own excuses." |
