Friday August 13th, 2010 - Somewhere Near Belize

   Only two shows tonight, it felt like a night off. I’m starting to get an idea of what these audiences will like and laugh at. Unfortunately, it’s not necessarily what I do on a regular basis.

Neither of those options thrilled me so I sprawled out on the bed and drifted off.

   I’m very glad I did too. T... Read More
