In getting ready for the month of Sept, I realized how busy life would be for me. With that in mind, I used my logical, rational mind to minimize how many times I performed. I don't want to prep for a show every week while taking care of the many other things I need to … Continue reading Guess who is telling stories and jokes and talking to folks?
