Paying Back In Pittsburgh
Saturday October 31st, 2009 - Cranberry, PA Small crowd, BIG fun. That’s not usually how the equation works, but tonight made my long drive to West Virginia and then here totally worth it. Wow, what a vibe these people had. They were there to see comedy and they gave it up start to......Read More

Nothing Is 4 Ever
Sunday November 1st, 2009 - Pittsburgh, PA/Kenosha, WI Well, the Purple Satan got his revenge on Green Bay. Big whoop-de-doo. I hope he’s finally happy, because apparently the blind worship of an entire state for 16 years wasn’t quite enough. He had to whine and suck his thumb......Read More

Eleven Percent
Monday November 2nd, 2009 - Chicago, IL Back at Zanies in Chicago after a week off. It felt good to get back in a groove but I’m wrestling with the same issues I’ve always had with time management. I spent all day at home working on tedious but necessary tasks like sorting......Read More

A Kidder Kaboodle
Tuesday November 3rd, 2009 - St. Charles, IL Big Jerry’s Kidders summit today. The four of us have been out of touch for a while for various reasons, most of them legit. We needed to get back on the same page so we met at Portillo’s in St. Charles, IL, right across from the......Read More

Way Up In The U.P.
Wednesday November 4th, 2009 - St. Ignace, MI Good news is coming from all directions, and I’m not complaining. First, I’ve got a full week of decently paying gigs, even though I’ll have to drive all over the U.P. of Michigan and back to do them. That’s ok, it will......Read More

Another Nut Cracks
Thursday November 5th, 2009 - Sault Ste. Marie, MI The drive between St. Ignace and Sault Ste. Marie is only about fifty miles, but today it seemed like five hundred because of the weather conditions. There was rain and sleet and slow and wind, and then it was sunny for five minutes. Then it......Read More

A Double Dodger
Friday November 6th, 2009 - Lake Villa, IL After the show last night I decided to at least start on the long drive home since I’d slept away most of the afternoon anyway. I knew it would be the longest drive-a-thon this week and I was prepared for it. The bad weather on the way up......Read More

A Trail Of Two Cities
Saturday November 7th, 2009 - Chicago, IL/Milwaukee, WI Another day jam packed with things to do and places to be, but all of it was productive. The first stop was downtown Chicago to do Jerry’s Kidders on WGN radio. Today it was a 10am start due to a football broadcast so I got up......Read More

Packing It In
Sunday November 8th, 2009 - Harris, MI This has turned out to be an extremely exhausting week of drives to the northernmost parts of Michigan and back. I’m not upset tonight was the last one for a while. I love to work and really appreciate the money, but I earned every single penny of......Read More

R.I.P. Melodie Wilson
Monday November 9th, 2009 - Chicago, IL I was very saddened to hear that Melodie Wilson passed away today. She was one of the main TV news anchors in Milwaukee going back to the ‘70s. It’s amazing how much of a part of life someone on radio or TV can be in a particular town but......Read More
