Opinion

I turn 82 in a few weeks in the midst of a long tour doing solo shows up Northeast, which is the best way to turn very old, to ride around and entertain beautiful strangers, all of them younger.

I was in St.

Its been awhile since I’d been fishing.

Here I am again on an early Sunday morning sharing my thoughts.I’m still really tired.

In church Sunday we sang “All people who on earth do dwell” with the beautiful line about serving God with mirth, the only hymn that calls us to comedy, and it made me feel good after this dreadful past week in which mirth has been hard to find.Suddenly I miss Jonathan Winters, the comic who worked in fragments — I wish he were here, he’d handle today’s news to perfection.

Well.

You may have noticed in the newspapers a graphic that accompanies some of the stories that reads “Community Conversations”.
