6 cards, 2 shows

since it is after Christmas now, i figured it was time to respond to the cards sent me. there were 6, some from family, some from friends. actually, the two friends were classmates from high school. these are people that i don't hear from that often, but i like getting the cards of course. one went to Wisconsin, the others to Iowa. although it is a lower number than what i was getting. i also decided to check my PO box, since i was already there. two of my e-bay orders were there, including the state quarter. i have acquired all of them so far, and there are 16 left in this series. i knew i wanted to type up letters to some of them, so it meant going to the library first. as expected, i took a while on the letters as i wanted them to sound correct in my mind. i printed a few things there as well, including the letter to the editor that was published last week in my hometown paper. i like doing that letter on an annual basis as i like getting published somewhere.
   i performed at two shows in the evening. at the first one, it was nice to see the little guy that is now in Hollywood and doing bit-parts in movies. he was still in high school when we started doing stand-up around the same time, in 2008. he did see my set and noticed how my sets are way better now. i like seeing people from those early days, another one of them is the wolf. although i don't see him that much either. but we are all busy in our lives, even if we live in the area we still might not make it to the clubs that much. i didn't do the typical walk after the second show, since it was really cold, subzero weather.
