“There are times when I have to take,
I call it a ‘silence bath,’
where I shut off all
of the external gadgets.
I go walk around,
talk to people,
and just live for a while.”
~ Patton Oswalt

Climb Over the Fence

fence it out.”

Paul Zerdin is No Dummy in Las Vegas
Ventriloquism has never been my thing. I remember my older cousins laughing about the antics of Howdy Doody, but maybe I was too young to get it. He looked a little too scary to me. Fast forward to the British recent winner of “America’s Got Talent” and I found myself taking a second look. You will, too. This guy is so good, prepare to be entertained in Las Vegas. The live show was nonstop comedy as Paul Zerdin interacted with the audience through his believable “family” of infant Baby, pre-adolescent Sam, and Albert the outspoken old geezer. The surprises never end as this entire cast of characters come to life. Or do they? Decide for yourself.
Good, Better, Best
“Good, better, best.
Never let it rest.
‘Til your good is better
And your better is best.”
~ St. Jerome
How Glorious a Greeting
“There is no friend
like an old friend
who has shared our morning days,
no greeting like his welcome,
no homage like his praise.”
~ Oliver Wendall Holmes, Sr.
Out of the Dark, Beauty Appears
“Whether one believes in a religion or not,
and whether one believes
in rebirth or not,
there isn’t anyone who doesn’t
appreciate kindness and compassion.”
~ Dalai Lama
