Wow, I did it.  I finally upgraded my website after way too many years.  I had switched hosting companies, and in the switch, I broke my custom made blog admin area where I could write new blog postings.  I got lazy and never fixed it.  Until a few days ago.  Let me just state for the record that spammers are kind of crappy.  Over the past few years, spammers slowly crept into the comments of my blog posts, then into my guestbook, and finally into my email form.  Well, because of the spammers, I shut down comments on my blog posts, made my guestbook read only, and had to go through a lot to try and thwart spammers from using my contact form for  their own evil ways.  I had enough this weekend, and spent a few hours setting up a new website, with a new look, new blogging system ( Thank the sweet lord for WordPress ), and spam protection.  Ahh, it feels nice.  LIke moving into a fresh new place, and only bringing the things that mean the most to you, and leaving behind all of the junk that you have acquired over the past few years.

So, this is my first blog post in about three and a half years.  When looking back on where I left off, it is amazing how much can happen in such a short time.  Three and a half years, and my life is completely different.  I am still doing stand up gigs every once in a while, though not as often as I would like.  My time is filled something much more important to me… my two children.  Yes, I had 2 kids since my last blog post.  See, I told you that a lot has happened.  My daughter was born in April of 2007, and I just had a son 11 days ago.  So, as you can imagine, I don’t have as much time to devote to comedy.  I have been getting out every so often and traveling further to some of the gigs which is a lot of fun.  I don’t know if I could live in hotels for an extended period of time, but when I get to travel out near Pittsburgh and other cities, it can be little a little vacation that I make money on.  Not to shabby.

I have some great stories from the road that I want to write about on here so that I don’t forget about them, because they are funny and weird all at the same time.  Hopefully, I won’t let three and a half years go in between my next blog post.  Oh, you could be so lucky!
