Bear from Kidney Komedy Tour

Bear

I found out this morning that I had no cream for my morning coffee. In fact with all the travel and work on the Kidney Komedy Night tour I find my fridge a bit empty.
So I took a stroll to my neighbourhood store, which includes a wonderful view of the mountains as I make my way down the hill. What a difference a week makes! With all the cool wet weather their peaks were now a blanket of white. The last time I saw them they were bare rock.
I had driven through them only 10 days before but it seems like much longer ago than that. I was reminded of the trip and the sites we saw. Here is the bear pic as I had promised in my earlier blog "Safe and warm on the west coast". It was just a young bear but he paused long enough for some pics and this was the best one, before he ran off to wherever it is that he runs off to when he gets spooked.

One of the things I enjoy about touring out west is the nature sightings. Those that know me understand my passion for the outdoors and each trip is a chance to take in a small portion of it. When a non-comic asks me "How can you drive so many hours and then do a show?" I just tell them it beats sitting in an office all day or a windowless warehouse. No offence to those who do those jobs but I cannot. Been there and done that and am glad to do the work I do.

Here are some more pics, from the trip, of big horn sheep that stopped traffic near Golden BC. They ambled across the highway with such casualness you'd think it was a scheduled appearance that they had become bored with.
Views like this you can't get from a normal 9 to 5 job which is why I enjoy the travel, even if the long drives can be a bit exhausting at times.

Last night was a nice get together at Clark Robertson's place. He and his wife Darlene were a great help to Kidney Komedy Night and our thanks goes out to them. Last night was their "Bye, Bye Summer Bash" and a lot of old friends were there along with folks who had taken part in the Kidney Komedy Tour. Thanks guys for a great time and awesome food!

Just a few blocks from Clark's place is The Comedy Cave where the hilarious Kevin Foxx was wrapping up his week. Cris Nannarone and I excused ourselves from the party and dropped in to catch his show and say hi. If you ever see Kevin booked in a club in your area go and see his show! He is one funny comic and worth every cent of the ticket price!!
Later kids
