This week I decided to take a late flight to LA so I could spend more time at home with my driver and the pups. It proved to be only a so-so idea as there was a gate and terminal change before we were to board, but I got into LA around 12:15 and was …

1/2 way through 1/3 of the way
I had been wondering if I was going to get into a groove with the travel and with my class at The Second City, and I can comfortably and emphatically say that I am settling in nicely with the whole routine. I decided to fly out Saturday afternoon so that would allow me to spend …
The third time is the charm
I’m not exactly sure what’s so charming about it, or if there is an actual charm I am to recieve for my charm bracelet, but week #3 is in the books. It’s really tough to try and make a 37 hour trip exciting when out of that time 6 of those hours were spent traveling, …
The Space/Time Continuum
Sunday in L.A. I had a friend ask me with my travel and the time change over the weekend, could I be stuck somewhere in time. I laughed it off and wondered if he misplaced his helmet, but then I actually thought about it today. If I lose 2 hours going to L.A., then “fall …
Second verse, not as exciting as the first
I don’t have anything exciting to report for this week’s trip. I went to a Halloween party (sans costume) Saturday night at a friend’s house, class Sunday and I lucked out and got the 4:45 flight out. I began reading “Naked” by David Sedaris on the flight out, and it’s genius comic prose. I did …
1 down, 23 to go*
Week 1 of the yet to be named journey is complete with little fanfare and nothing exciting to report. I did get to go to the World Premiere (red carpet and all) of my friend DDP’s movie, Driftwood, at Screamfest LA on Friday night at Mann’s Chinese Theater. DDP is a great heel in the …
I sully the good name of Steve Carell by using my name in the same sentence as his – UPDATED
Melinda and I spent the weekend in LA for the premiere of a short film I did, and I got to audition for The Second City Conservatory program. The Second City is a world famous improvisation school that has spawned such comedy geniuses as Mike Myers, Steve Carell, Steven Colbert, Amy Sedaris, Dan Akroyd, John …
A week 2 weeks in L.A.
I’ve been in L.A. for the last week studying improv at The Second City and I’ll be here another week taking yet another class and filming a short film. I really love improv because it’s not about being big and over the top funny, but about paying attention and letting the audience lead the scene. …
Mavs up 2-0. Me not so much.
It’s 3:20 a.m. Vegas time and we just got in from a very long day that included Arena Bowl 20, the Mavs domination of the Heat in game 2, a Cirque de Soliel show at The Mirage and some post-show sightseeing. Do the math, and my body thinks it’s 5:20. I’m in for another long …
Congrats Tom and Kelly
Melinda and I were in Austin the end of last week for her brother Tom’s wedding. Here’s a pic of Melinda and Tom from the end of the evening just before Tom and his bride, Kelly, took off for their honeymoon in Bora Bora. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was top notch. It …
Ooh-LA-LA
Melinda and I were in L.A. this past weekend for a friend’s 50th birthday party in Santa Monica on Saturday. I can now say I’ve been to a “L.A. Party” as there were celebs present. It was good to see Page, since he had no idea we were coming, and was genuinely shocked and happy …
U2. ONE. 8.
We just got back from a weekend trip to Washington D.C. to see Bono give a speech entitled “How to live a purpose filled life”. Melinda got the tickets through an association she is a member of and she thought it would be a cool birthday trip. — and it was. The speech focused on …
The left coast
I’m in LA right now visiting my friend Page, and enjoying some R&R here on the coast. The cool thing about this trip is that Page called and asked if I would come out to help him setup his new mac laptop….and he would pay for the plane ticket. After much deliberation (less than three …
