Journal: Blogging, Spain, and Glasgow

— My Blog, 18 May 2010 — We’re on a train going from Glasgow to London. The shows have gone well I think and I’ve learned an enormous amount about each country we visited. For instance, Spain, apparently, had a civil war just like our own.  This is not a joke. In their civil war other […]

Journal: WWI, the Queen, and Cathy

— WORLD WAR I REVISITED, 4 February 2004 — Here I am in Europe. I’ve done two shows in Belgium. I think they went pretty well. I talk less than I do at home but they seem to understand everything I say; they just didn’t think some of it was that funny. I think some […]
