Ah, I knew you'd find me.
You get the book yet?

Re: I think I may be onto something….

That's crazy. I think I sent it last week.
If nothing by Monday, let me know.

That was purely an oversight on my part. Good catch.

God bless you and your taste, Jim. Where are you from? Bob and Tom listener?

Ah, Mike McIntee. Good guy.
Good line about the wax.
I should have done more with the car wash, but I was too focused on the vacuum situation....

Two strong tags here, although I wish HEPA was a more universal reference.

Sure, I know you. Thanks for your lovely card. My dad died last June. Tough.

I'll be on April 7, the day the book is released. I'm usually on every 4-5 weeks. Great great show. It originates out of Indianapolis, but they have 6 million listeners, amazingly none in major major markets. Good people. There's a reason they're so successful.

Never know with the Tigers. Weird division. Thanks for buying the books. I hope you think they're something.

They have a lot of stand-ups on, as well as legit guests, and they're lively on their own.

I think he has/had his own show on Sirius.

My pleasure, pal. Keep in touch.
Good luck in the draft.....

I agree with you. The longer I'm around, the easier I can differentiate between "funny" and "effective." He is extremely effective. Let's see where that hair and makeup and outfit is in five years.

Thanks. It worked out well.

Oh yeah.
I dragged a foot for almost four years. Nobody could figure it out.
I actually wrote the book to try and "art" the pain out of me. And, of course, the guy in the book got better before I did.
10 days after I sold the book, I went and saw yet another doctor, who took one look at my latest xray and said, "You need a hip replacement. I'm not telling you should get one, I'm telling you you have to." Went in on July 7. Out of pain ever since.

Sneer death = v-v-strong.

The plan is to post as Marty every Wed and Fri for at least the next couple of months. God help me, I enjoy doing them. Great way to get out of my head.

As always, thanks for the kind words.

Brett -- glad you found me. I think you'll get a kick out of the book. I will be blogging much more frequently on this site, only using the Amazon blog for updates and appearances. And I'll be on Bob and Tom next Tuesday, the official pub date of the book.
My brother Tom, as you probably know from my B&T appearances, lives in Raleigh. It would be great if I could get a couple of readings down there and meet you and the Toast in the Machine in Columbia, SC.
And as for Bank of America, you guys look like Fort Knox now compared with the rest of them.

Strong line.

If you've made it through 50, you're home free. Now, the book takes off.
