I saw "Re-Animator" at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2012. It was silly fun. My wife and I had only been dating a couple years at that point and it was the first show I saw with the guy who became and continues to be my good friend/mentor/older brother. www.fangoria.com/george-wendt...

Got to see Mets pitcher Paul Blackburn throw his first rehab start on Friday night for the Brooklyn Cyclones. His first game since Aug. '24. He threw 3 innings, had 6 strikeouts, gave up 2 runs (one a home run). Overall, he looked solid and the Cyclones won 3-2 over the Wilmington Blue Rocks. #LGM

For those times when life kicks you when you're down, there's always plain ass saltine crackers. You might not think much of them but they are there for you and don't ask for anything in return.

Wipeout
I’ll be appearing in the Chain Theatre’s Winter One Act Festival in a short play called Wipeout, written by and featuring Jeryl Brunner. We met several years ago while doing some improv training in the city. Jeryl reached out to me to play two roles: a skiing enthusiast and a grade school teacher. It’s part of a full-length play she has been working on.
