Where are the happy people?

I understand the need for a public transit system in a large city; moving the masses around the metropolis. Why does everyone have to look so damn miserable? On a cruise ship most people walk around with a smile on their face and a bit of a spring in their step (even those with walkers have a happy strut). I understand the people on the buses, streetcars and subways are NOT on a ship but would it kill you to crack a smile or even make a little eye contact?

Personally I do not enjoy the subway but it was the easiest way to meet my wife for breakfast. We ate at a lovely place called Fran’s Restaurant: the food and service were well above average! Our server was from Ireland; I love that accent.

Later I met up with an old friend from high school for what I thought was lunch but turned into her drinking beer and me trying to nurse one slowly. Apparently being on a detox/cleanse makes me a pussy. Heather is one of the funniest people I know who is not a comedian.

The Friday show at Absolute Comedy was sold out. Normally with that many people in the room there is one ass clown who heckles or talks loudly to his friends, but not on this night. Just a great group who were out to have a fun night away from home. It was nice to finally find the happy people.

After the show I got to hang out with my wife, Jeff, Rene and one of my very good comedy friends Kathleen McGee. I first met her when I started touring Western Canada. She is a tall voluptuous woman who loves it when I pick her up. Kathleen giggles and screams, “I feel so little, I feel so little”!
