Monday Evening

If you ever want to hear from half the people you ever met, just guest on Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast. Yow. They're going to have me back soon so maybe then I'll hear from the other half.

Well, the shutdown's over — for now. Hope you enjoyed it because they're going to rerun this thing more often than A Charlie Brown Christmas. But it's nice that they're no longer arguing over what the deal should be and are instead arguing over which party screwed the other. I am reminded of an animation studio that I stopped working for. My lawyer, who twice had to go to them and explain their own contracts to them, once said "They aren't interested in a deal that leaves both sides happy. They only want the deal that leaves their side happy and other side, crying, humiliated and begging for mercy."

Went to see my fave local musical group Big Daddy performing last night and boy, were they great. They had a lot of new material even though everyone in the place would have been quite satisfied with the old stuff. I won't tip any of the new mash-ups but I'll never be able to hear Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" again without thinking of what Big Daddy did to it.

Coming soon to this blog: An article about why my support for the #MeToo movement is growing and so is my belief that Woody Allen is innocent.
