I just fund out today that they are moving my hours back to a 3am start time… And I’m actually pretty happy about it.  Those were the hours I originally signed up for, they actually afford me more time with the kids.  The show has been going well (I produce the  Insana Quotient hosted by Ron Insana), it’s business talk, so it’s a little different from what I have done in the past… But it’s always exciting to try something new.

The kids Mom called, I guess Lucy has been running a fever, but has no other symptoms… So I’m not too worried, Bing had something similar a week or so ago. It’s been so crazy around here I wasn’t able to schedule a time to see them midweek this week… Luckily, things are getting all ironed out and that shouldn’t be a problem from now on.

Lost has been doing a fairly good job of wrapping things up… I’m kind of bummed that it will all be over soon, there aren’t that many shows I currently look forward too.

The apartment search continues on, we’ve seen some good ones (My Sister and Mom have been helping)… But haven’t found the “one” yet (Although I’m willing to settle!  I just need to find something OK, in my price range).

We found out yesterday that we will be doing a live podcast at Farrell’s in Santa Clarita on Wednesday June 23rd at 7p!!!!! So if you can make it come hang out!!!  Speaking of hanging out, I will be doing just that at The Tallyrand Restaurant in Burbank this Friday (In 2 days) for some Happy Hour fun (I’ll be there anytime after 5:30p)…. Just decided to celebrate the launch of the new show and hang with my peeps!  All are welcome.

Rock On, Jack

It will be in the 40′s tonight in Los Angeles, It is really the first cold night of this fall.  There is something very lonely about the cold.  The distant voices and sounds of the city are muffled by closed windows, people borrow inside leaving the sidewalks empty and the darkness just seems darker.  Last year at this time I was in the middle of my divorce, working construction and living on my sisters couch.  The nights were just as cold, but I was not alone, my sister was there, Ethan, my Mom, and the dogs would wander out to my spot on the sofa to see if I had left any granola bar shrapnel.  Tonight, when the chill sets in, I will be alone in my small apartment, on the same couch, wrapped in Lucy’s princess blanket making my own warmth.  It is strange how the same place can be both  prison and home… depending on who is there with you.

State Shirt (aka – Ethan aka – My sisters boyfriend) is playing a show at 10pm on November 5th at the Hotel Cafe, If it’s not past your bedtime, I highly recommend you check it out… He’s really good!

There’s a new Farrell’s opening in The O.C.  I like this trend of old restaurants from our childhood making a comeback!  Like all the new Bob’s Big Boy’s that have opened…  And did I mention that the one at the 5 freeway and Sunland has a lounge!

Don’t forget, If you want to hang with Stretch and Me during our show on Friday just come on down to the CRN studios… We’ll be having a costume contest and performing the show live, it should be fun.

Do you want to read this book?  Another reason dogs rule.  I do I get this Un-Job. Who’s scaring who?   He gets to wisecrack in the showers now.  This is HORRIBLE!  Tweet and win.  Attack dog!

Rock On, Jack
