The mere thought of "healthy" doughnuts is just wrong.

If I were diet-conscious, the absolute last thing I'd think about having would be a doughnut!   A carrot stick, maybe - but a Whole Wheat Donut!??!!? 

It's amazing how many foods have been bastardized over the years.  Take pizza for example. It started as a simple thin-crusted piece of dough with tomato and mozerella and perhaps a bit of meat and herbs.  Today, the pizza can be found in practically any locale, newly "whorified" into a cheese crust stuffed, oil laden, artery clogging mess. I mean, anything can be a topping on a pizza - sauerkraut, chicken livers, catfish...oh man, you don't even want to get me started on the pizzas you can find in JAPAN.  I saw this guy's page and nearly cried.  <Erdoboy.com>

Don't get me wrong - knowing me I'd still probably try the stuff, but man - some things just ain't right.

Alright - you guys can't say I didn't invite you to a show now:

Here's a list of all the upcoming FREEBIE shows Dan and I will be performing at in the coming weeks.  If you want to catch a show, come on by (and say HI!)  If you're lucky, I'll even get Dan to pull you up on stage and if you're REALLY lucky, I'll even be there autograph a postcard for you.    I'll add any other shows in the upcoming weeks - we're getting booked out for libraries lately - I'm kissing the traveling goodbye for now!

Today was pretty busy as Dan and I had two shows at the Museum of Oakland.  It was the same old show, but with about 500 people watching us at each show!  (Not including the people sneaking into the show from the street!)  The energy was high, people were laughing and cheering, and I got the best compliment that I've ever heard from a spectator (a director of a company at that!):

"Your husband - he was really good.  But your energy and enthusiasm - that made the show!"

hee hee hee - Dan still makes the show, but it's nice to be acknowledged sometimes - I think I'll bask in this comment longer! 

After the shows, we picked up Dan's dad and headed over to the San Jose airport - we were catching a plane to LAS VEGAS, BABY!  Five days of gambling, shows, drinks, and magic!  Dan's cousin was kind enough to let us crash at his house and do all the driving - he won't be able to spend much time with us, but promised to grab a few meals here and there with us.  It's too bad we got here so late in the evening - we only had time to get unpacked and go to sleep!
