Hey everybody, hope you’re having a wonderful Wednesday so far! I assume that is not the case if you have checked the news. Although amongst the bad there was something funny, Apparently, the Iranians painted a helicopter on the ground, and we fired on it. Now look, there’s nothing about war that’s funny, But I do feel proud that Wiley coyote has been vindicated for some of his tactics. Clearly that Looney Tunes acme b******t actually works!

I decided that to brighten your day perhaps you would like a video of our Pig Reba, a.k.a. Babe-raham Lincoln reciting the Gettysburg address. Just something stupid I thought of on my walk that I thought might bring you some joy and I know we all needed it right now.

I am excited to be back from the road because it’s gotten me back in the swing of things. So I will not tell you what it is or when I will be done with it, I did write the first 2000 words of a new novella last night And I am so very excited to share it with you all. It’s going to be something that I have to try and sell, of course, But I will try and do a special deal with y’all. If I end up having to self publish, then, of course I can do whatever I want. Whether that be sending you a free PDF file of it with your purchase of the audiobook, Putting the first couple chapters on here for free, Or Hale maybe even better just give it to y’all and then just work on the honor system that you donate money to the cause.

Regardless my point is y’all will not be treated like the general public when it comes to release lol

I was going to say that, focusing on this has prevented me from writing any of my diary entries, but as I’m sitting here writing this, I realize that’s kind of what I’m doing.

I’m recording an episode of the past Time with my dollop buddies, Gareth Reynolds and Dave Anthony later today so be on the lookout for that whenever it comes out! It’s so awesome that putting on errors and The dollop met each other in such an organic matter and has made for such good friendships and such good podcasts

I will be in Asheville, North Carolina at the eulogy on March 12 and I will be in Atlanta at the Punchline on March 29. I hope you can come and see me. I say this all the time, but I think I mean it now… These will probably be my last tour days for at least a couple months. My travel schedule this year has been a mere fraction of what it was in the past yet I still can’t keep up mentally. I miss my son too much and it is very hard for me to focus on being funny when I’m sad. I will eventually have to figure it out because stand-up has always been the primary way that I make my living, but luckily, I have my sub stack and my podcast to carry me through while I’ll be the best dad that I can be. It also inspires me to work harder every day on the things that I can do at home to make money so that I can stay here more often which definitely was part of the inspiration for the Novela that I’m currently writing!

As I’ve always said the more people who pay to subscribe to sub stack, The more often I will be able to stay at home and work on things for sub stack because I can afford to takeoff from the road so thank you so much to all of you who have already done that

I am in no way pressuring the rest of you because I know that money is tight. However, if my work does bring value to your life and you have a spare five dollars a month or you can skip a cup of coffee, consider becoming a paid subscriber or as always you can do a one time PBS style donation on my PayPal and Venmo, which are located below

I love you and enjoy our Pig reciting Abraham Lincoln

More later
