Steven Wright at the Ohio theater, February 20, 2011

"If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer?" - Steven Wright

   The show started at 7:00 P.M. and lasted till about 9:00 P.M. We'd previously only seen him on YouTube  and I think he's best experienced live like many comedians. Currently ranked # 23 on the Comedy Central 100 Greatest Standups of all Time, he made his case for that ranking. The audience covered the age spectrum and laughed at most everything he said, although sometimes after a pause because he likes to make you think. Example: "What's another word for thesaurus?" Delivered with his trademark monotone and deadpan face, you can't help but laugh.

Cat drinking water in a new way

Dan sent me a link showing a cat drinking water in a way we've never seen before. Most cats aren't going to do this! He(she?) appears a little thirsty. Mary thinks maybe the cat had some Chinese food loaded with MSG!

The Stupidest Angel

Finished reading "The Stupidest Angel" by Christopher Moore, one of my favorite authors. This book was, as usual, hilarious. If you've never read any of his books, you should try him on for size.
