Time to Relax

The improv show was a success! In the green room before the show, I had a hard time believing I would be on stage for a WHOLE HOUR (that's two family guy episodes!). What would I say? What would I do? Jazz hands are only interesting for the first five minutes. But it felt like I walked on stage and then waved goodbye (something many patrons wished I had done). There was something really natural for me about being a golfer with a hook (a pirate's hook, that is). But I've always fallen for a heart-broken Yetti who offered to buy me a drink.

Tonight, I shall sleep like there's no tomorrow. I was wired until 1:30am. Too much sugar. (Peanut M&Ms, Reses Peanut Butter Cups, 7up w/ grenadine, regular M&Ms, mint chocolate chip ice-cream and a backup bag of Peanut M&Ms in case my blood sugar dropped.)

Very brave! I would've liked to been a fly on the wall, but not to jump on your sugar items.
Last night I dreamed that 'circus peanuts' was the name given to a special recipe for toasting/caramelizing peanuts.

Paul Feig had to move to LA before he joined an improv troupe so I think you are light years ahead of him.

I think packing peanuts were invented when a batch of Circus Peanuts were processed without food coloring (click handle). Voila!
