Loving 2008!!

Well it has been a great year so far and indications are it will get even better.
After a great Christmas/New Year's trip to the wonderful city of Kelowna it was time to head back to Calgary and relax some more.
My sons and I managed to enjoy a few back yard bonfires and take in the Calgary Motorcycle show. I have to say if I win the Lotto I definitely have no trouble with my wish list!

I had my birthday last week and it seemed to last a full week!! A dinner bash Saturday, at my buddy Clark Robertson's place, became a bit of a birthday party once the clock hit midnight. Sunday, my actual birthday (Jan 13 for those keeping track), was spent with friends and then it was off to the mountains to a great chalet. Scott Dumas or Doomer as we love to call him, had a great chalet rented for the week so it was R & R Canadian Rocky style for a couple of nights. There is something so peaceful, spiritual and rejuvenating about the mountains. I can't see myself ever living too far from them. Monday I came in for Comedy Monday Night and the gang had some late birthday surprises for me including a few tribute jokes, a rap song (done by Stephanie Foley) cards, cakes and as many free drinks as possible. Thanks to all the Calgary comics, you guys are the best bunch to hang with in Canada. A big thanks to all the emails, phone calls, Facebook and Myspace notes I have received over the past week! I am always happy to hear from fans and friends. You have all made me feel so loved.

Tomorrow I fly up to Grande Prairie to do a theater show with none other than Corner Gas guy Brent Butt. I am looking forward to doing this sold out show. I love it when I get to do soft seat theatres. More of those to come.

Sunday is the first Calgary showing of the movie Sureshot Dombrowski I was involved in last year. It is a fun, campy little comedy done mocu-mentary style. Contact me for tickets and info.

The Canadian Unity Tour is getting ready for an extended month long tour of the west. Starting in Victoria BC on Feb 1 we will be uniting the country through the official language of laughter. The tour was sad to say goodbye to Levi MacDougall, who had to pull himself out of the tour due to conflicting TV tapings. We are happy to welcome Andrew Iwanyk and his quirky, funny style to the tour. Be sure to add our group on facebook.
