Better Bunker Snacks and Hacks
So, like us, you've been storing provisions in your doomsday bunker since at least the Clinton administration. We all remember how real shit got as Y2K approached, and we knew ol' Bill wasn't gonna save us, the old swamp monster. So, we went to bed on December 31, 1999 thinking we'd wake up dead. But on January 1, when we emerged from our caves, bunkers, panic rooms, and fallout shelters, we were pretty shocked to find the world hadn't ended after all.

Simple Joke-writing 101
Not to give away any of my trade secrets or anything but, as a teacher, this is how I used to spend most of my school day – writing jokes (or at least, researching material for writing jokes). Since, it was so much fun (way better than actually teaching or going to meetings and listening to department heads and administrators drone on for hours about exam week policies and evacuation procedures), I thought I would pass on to you, the real secrets of LIFE and “STAND-UP”.

That's The Way Your Parents Did It
It was another silly argument, and there had been a lot of those recently. They always seemed to land on your days off, which gave you the impression that she just didn’t like being around you all day. You were helping her make dinner, and you apparently did something wrong.

When You Need a Winter Warm Up and It’s Not Even Winter Yet
Two very real personas raising holy hell. I guess this has been years in the making. If I didn’t know better, I’d be thinking dissociative identity disorder (aka split personality.) But there’s no disintegration into a mental health condition, just no-holds-barred internal struggles. Two selves emerged, forged from blizzard-ravaged crystal clear icicles desperately trying to melt to a more amenable liquid state. The me that grew up not knowing the arctic blasts of winter, enjoying warm subtropical temps, and me#2 that experienced over a decade of British winters and senses this promises to be a brutal one.

series of journal entries
11/21 This weekend was better than the last. I have been working out and putting my mental health first, more consistently. I have definitely seen some changes for the better and it makes me happy. Some days are obviously better than others but the good days have been outweighting the bad.

Tickets to the Circus
As if moving into a new apartment wasn’t difficult enough, what with the address change and new phone number, we get stuck with a number that is almost exactly the same as Ticketmaster’s number. When we were first issued the number, I thought we had hit the jackpot because it is an extremely easy number to remember.

Drama at the Deli Counter
I pulled the little paper tab out of the dispenser and looked at my number. It was 01, and the digital display behind the deli counter was on 97. Not bad, I thought, and went and stood in line while I thought of all the delicious meat and cheese I was about to acquire.

Life on the road in a Rock Band
Story#2 When it comes to travel, usually its coordinated so you are booked closely to each gig. In most cases when you are booked for a gig in the 80's, you are booked at a club or Bar for a week, in some cases its a split 3 days at one club, and 3 days at another club in the same city. But in most cases you play a week at one place , That's 6 days. Sundays are a travel day, bars and clubs where closed on that day. contracts for playing at these establishments were, the bands pay, which comes with accommodations, and occasionally a percentage off your alcohol or food if a restaurant is owned by the bar or club. I remember one time we had a 3 week gap with no gig, our Agent ask if we wanted to go to a far destination that paid a very lucrative sum of money. which also gave the band nice accommodation, excellent club discounts, with free buffet. Heck yah!. signed the contract and on our way.
