Summer Friend: Brian Regan, My Favorite Comedian

Brian Regan, My Favorite Comedian

I recently caught Brian Regan's special "Brian Regan: Standing Up;" this guy is too funny. If you ever have the chance to see him live, don't pass it up.

We saw him at the Hard Rock Cafe a couple of years ago, and when he got to this bit, he pushed me to the brink of hilarity. Then he finished me off with this.

In other news, I received revision notes today. When I work on my stories, my chores get done in a fog. I go through my daily motions, but as I've said before, I'm really wherever my characters are. And so I've only just now remembered that I'm to bring a macaroni salad to the family get-together tomorrow. I must repair to the kitchen.
