i was reading through the daily entries i get from the garrison keillor writers almanac and it mentioned danzig, germany. never heard of it. found out it is because the city is now known as gdansk, poland. it was part of the territory germany ceded after world war one ended. i had only known danzig as the name of a heavy metal band, found out it had the name as it was the frontman's stage name. guess it explains the first battle of world war two being the invasion of poland. what i also found out about gdansk was that the solidarity movement from 1980, led by lech walesa, started there. and wikipedia said there is a park in that town named for president reagan. i like what i learn when i decide to look up things. i found some ways to stay active throughout the day, it included shredding some junk mail after having breakfast in the morning. and i ordered 2 comedy CDs that had been on my list for a while, done by a local record label and i know the performers. this might be it on getting comedy albums, as it is harder to find those on CD as many are no longer made in that format. an MP3 download is all the rage now. once midday arrived i watched some pro football, dolphins-bears was on CBS. saw the first half, then laid down and fell asleep, the bears lost a close one. in the evening i performed at an open-mic, cul-de-sac brought a lady friend and an intro was made. in my set i started off with mention of wearing my leather jacket onstage, and the story about re-claiming my coat a while back. i was told i buried the comic after me, so i must have been a tough act to follow. later on i went on a walk and found 68 cents.
