Well, here we are in the cusp of another atmospheric river. Long Beach is predicted to get a total of 4-5 inches of rain. And baby, it’s cold outside. A good day to post on the blog, I don’t have any real news, so just thoughts and pictures.
We have been going to comedy clubs our whole married life. Laughter is the best medicine you know. We’ve seen lots of the kings of comedy in that time span.
Right now we are huge fans of lan Bagg. He’s a regular at the ‘comedy and magic club’ in Hermosa Beach. It opened in 1978 and we’ve been going there ever since. We saw Jerry Seinfeld there before he even had a tv show. Back then if you bought one of their t-shirts, you got in free on Tuesdays. We made good use of those, but they have discontinued that👎🏻
They have memorabilia in the cases.
He doesn’t do regular stand up, he cleverly talks to the crowd and gets his inspiration from the answers he gets. He remembers everything and works that into hilarious outcomes. I often get asked and even offer comments. He knows us and puts up with me raising my hand to ask him a question. It’s so much fun. He tickles my funny bone.
*he was runner up on Last Comic Standing’ in 2015. We watched every episode.

Did any of you catch the sky a week ago.
We also had a pretty sunset last week

my latest puzzle, only 500 pieces.
Thanks for the suggestion Tracy, about the service that sends puzzles, you send them back, and then get a new one. It’s $25 dollars a month for unlimited puzzles. I’ll see if it’s worth it by how many I can do in a month.

Melody being a big girl sitting in a restaurant chair. She had her first taste of salsa.
Daddy’s showing his big girl Home Depot. “We’ll spend a lot of time here, you betcha”

when I was looking for pictures to post, I noticed the picture of Melody at Christmas that I hadn’t used yet, was on top of the picture of Jerry at her age in my photos file. They both have the same look on their faces. It just struck me as a good thing to share.

We need this rain, so I guess we shouldn’t complain too much. Jerry and I don’t have to go out in it unless we want to, so we’re lucky. And we have no leaks in our 96 year old house, again, lucky.
Hope all of you are staying dry and safe if you do go out. The little news I watch, makes the roads look very dangerous.
I know it takes your time to leave comments after reading the post, so thank you for that. I still love doing this blog, so comments are icing on the cake 🎂
Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
Thanks for the post! I’m in Gilbert, AZ taking care of my sister and her husband. They are doing so well that I’m coming home Thursday. We’re expecting heavy rain any minutes now!
Always a pleasure to read your blogs, even better on rainy days!
It’s $25 dollars a month for unlimited puzzles. You know at the speed I do puzzles it is $300.00 per puzzle. I think Jerry is better looking than Melody.
This post made me smile :). I love the pictures of Melody (and baby grandpa :P). It rained super hard here a couple days ago, we got soaked but classes were cancelled !! Love and miss you

You captured beautiful pictures of the sky, I love the orange one! The sky was always the same to me when I was younger. Amy is young and already appreciates the beauty of nature. She sends us pictures of unique things where she goes. She definitely got that from you. Melody is getting bigger and cuter. It’s a very fun age!

Great blog for during the rain storms. Loved all the great photos. The comedy club has been so much fun for you over the years. The contrails pics amazing. Yes, young Jerry and Melody same expression, loved that. I didn’t think Melody could be any cuter, but with curls, so cute. Time for rain to go away and bring out the rainbows. Love, Celia
You’re pretty talented to banter with a stand-up comic. I know that Joan Rivers also chose you from the audience once a lot of years ago. Many and varied hobbies/tastes keeps you happily busy. Melody is definitely cuter than Jerry – although he was cute as a youngster. Love ya – Sharon
i have never been to a comedy show but i’ve always wanted to go to one. i’ll have to check out some of the people you mentioned. i love the pictures of the sky you included. there were some pretty beautiful sunsets before it started raining. it’s been raining pretty hard here so i’ve just been staying inside and watching movies. 🙂
