Stand Up and Win!

Hello Ziggybackriders! It has been far too long since we've been together! You're looking marvelous, though. I don't know how you do it!

I have so much to fill you in on. Where to begin?

I begin with the title of this post. I did stand-up comedy for the first time two weeks ago today. It was so exciting! I have been talking about doing it for a few years. I have actually been ready to get up and try it for a few months, but couldn't find a place. But then it happened. Memphis' own Stop 345/Paddy's Pub had an open mic night. It was nervewracking because all the best comedians talk about how badly their early outings went, but this was great. The material was tight and people laughed. I can't wait to do it again and again! (you are probably wondering what I talked about. You have seen most of the material in my series "The Season For Loving." This was a couple days before Valentine's day so I did all romance-related stuff.)

Last weekend, I was at the wedding of two close friends. Yes, one's a boy and one's a girl. I grew up with the guy at Camp and met the girl on an Israel trip and I actually introduced them. Hooray for me! It was a lot of fun and a very nice wedding weekend. Nice weather, too. It was in Florida.

This week, the Lady Rabs, the high school girls basketball team that I coach picked up their first win. I believe it was just the first of many, though. Stay tuned for more on the Ladies as the season progresses.

In my own basketball news, the team I play for lost for the first time this season. We have been tearing other teams apart all seasong, but were just out of sync from the get-go last night. We lost by two. Coincidentally, I didn't have my jersey, which resulted in a technical foul, from which our opponents got two points. Laundry can make all the difference.

Alright, I think that's quite enough for now. Sorry I've been absent, but the Ride goes on. Thanks for visiting and have a spectacular weekend!
