Fall Forward
A month ago my wife called me really excited about something she had found online while at work. It was hard to hear her initially as I was practicing graduation songs with my kindergartners, but I heard key words that created instant interest on my end: Inspiring, Commencement and Denzel. A few minutes later my blackberry buzzed on my hip, and when I glanced at the screen the subject line read Denzel/ Watch Video. I eagerly tapped the message and... Read More

Funny What Some Days Will Change
It’s Thursday September 23, 2010 and in 4 days it will be my 4-year comedy anniversary (September 27, 2010). So much has changed since that very first time I stepped on stage in the fall of 2006. As I type this, I am preparing to go and headline a room where I’ll do between 45 – 60 minutes and be the entertainment for the evening. That is mind-boggling to me, and to make it crazier, a reporter from the Baltimore Sun will be there who is... Read More

My significant other who has become a political analyst/ social activist ever since Obama’s campaign got started is now consumed by MSNBC and News talk radio. Left to Right: Insulted husband, crazy wife and a cardboard Obama Every conversation... Read More
