25 years ago…

My weekend is so boring I decided to post my diary entry from 25 years ago when I was doing stand-up comedy on the road. Here’s my word-for-word diary entry from twenty-five years ago today…

(** March 7, 1985 **)
“Got turned down by the Funny Bone in Knoxville – that hurt. Also, Sandy told me April wouldn’t headline me. I cried. Very depressing day. I’m worried about finances – paid my Amex, Visa & other charges & used almost all my savings. Maybe I’m in the wrong business. Don’t know how much longer I can handle the rejection. Worried about income, despondent about career going NO WHERE and I’m almost 40.”

Five years later, I had my own talk show. I was never a quitter.
