Fall bike ride

This weekend I popped into The Comedy Cave to do a couple of spots on Saturday. Both shows were sold out and the crowds were full of energy. A nice lady came up, after the first show and told me that she had been at the Kidney Komedy night and she said "When we heard you were on the show tonight we thought we could just snooze through your set because we had just seen you. But then you did all new stuff! We loved it!" I thanked her for supporting the charity and the best comedy club in the city. It is moments like that, that make doing stand up so much fun.
The shows also helped take my mind off of some family matters of which I have no control. The stage is usually therapy for a lot of comics. Take that which bothers you and make it funny or distract yourself with other things funny.
What was on my mind I could not turn into a bit, nor would I. The comedy therapy only lasted for the weekend.
My mother has been in the hospital for the past few days, due to some sort of seizure or attacks that she has been having. At first they thought is was a stroke as the symptoms were similar but the tests so far have ruled that out. The doctors are still baffled and the tests continue. She seemed in great spirits when I talked to her on the phone yesterday.
There was no new news to go on this morning.
I took care of some minor business, emails, sending out posters and stuff but needed to clear my head.
I called up my good friend Clark Robertson to see if he was up for a motorcycle ride and he was.
The weather was perfect and a good ride in the country always helps clear the mind, I find.
We snapped this pic just south of the city near Millerville. The photo does not do the mountain view justice. I think I need to buy a better camera with a big zoom lens. Then I could take great pictures of the scenery to distract from my helmet hair!! I just don't want to carry around a big clunky camera so believe me when I tell you how great the backdrop looked in real life.
I am off to Comedy Monday Night to get some more onstage therapy and visit friends.
I have a new chunk I am working on and I know my mom would want me to keep on with the stand-up and writing jokes. She is, and always has been, my biggest fan. Get well mom, I am still living the dream and thinking of you.
