Every summer from age 16-19, I worked at a Boy Scout summer camp in the Handicrafts Lodge. During the day I would teach art, basketry, leatherworking, woodworking and woodcarving merit badges. There were other daily duties besides teaching merit badges like leading the camp in grace before meals, singing songs after meals, cleaning the shower… Continue reading My debut into live sketch comedy (or my return to doing skits)

One Year In Improv
One year ago today I took my first improv class. It was the first of 8, 3-hour long sessions in 5 days with the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York. Living in Boston, I needed to take advantage of the “intensive” program for Improv 101. I took a week off from work and stayed… Continue reading One Year In Improv
Two Years of Stand-up Comedy
Today is my second anniversary of performing stand-up. I don’t care much for (mostly) meaningless dates but I’ve thought about it recently and realized that the first two years have been pretty distinct from each other.

One Year in Blogging
As of today, this blog is one-year-old (or maybe because it’s still an infant we should say 12-months). It doesn’t really feel like it’s been that long, which is good because that means it didn’t end up being a chore, a fear of mine from the beginning. The raw stats: 120 posts for an average of one post… Continue reading One Year in Blogging
Being Beside Myself
I got my new business cards the other day from moo. Here’s a photo of me holding them with a photo of me on them: Trippy. And if you’re looking at this on my blog, that makes a third picture of me. I can only imagine your state of mind if you are holding one… Continue reading Being Beside Myself
