I love it when my friends think I’ve so got it together and that I am such a success. If they only knew how big of a screw up I’ve been in my life. In fact, I often tell others that I should really be the National Screw Up Poster Child, since I’ve...

Growing up in Seattle in the 1960s there was only one real sport in town: hydroplanes. These monsters would race deck to deck five abreast at 150 mph plus, their drivers only held in by a death grip on the steering wheel and one foot slammed into the bulkhead of the...

A couple weeks ago I did something I thought I would have never done. I went to open mike night. I know, I know. Big deal, right? I’ve been performing on stage for 35 years now, so what’s one more performance? I thought the same thing. I had gone the week...

I was down in Jupiter last Saturday to see Captain Ringo and help him usher in his birthday, which was July 4. It was a nice little soiree, with stilt walkers, break dancers, great music, beer and treasure. How can you go wrong? Of course, with vast amounts of beer in...

As a young man growing up in the free-loving 60s, I certainly was a bit of a dweeb. I really liked girls, all the way back to the 3rd grade when I had my first crush, Joleta Cutler. She doesn’t remember me in the least but I certainly remember her. I was...

I got to play father a few days ago. As my son gets older, these sessions seem to get less frequent, but deeper in terms of topic. We used to talk about him growing up to be a cow some day. Now we talk about girls and about being made fun of. I was made fun of when I...

Funny how one thing can lead to another. I was on the phone with my son telling him that he was the subject of a RobZerrvation when the subject of kiddy shows came up. It quickly sank into a “Neener, Neener, my shows were better than yours” call out. I...

For better or worse, I have been a professional entertainer for the last 30 years. I never set out to be one. Heck, I never even sang in high school or picked up a stringed instrument until I was in college. But all the stars fell into place and voila! –...

I was on the phone with my son yesterday. We were laughing about a bunch of stuff as fathers and sons do. He then asked me if I would ever lie to him. When I said, “No, of course not!” it took him only a second to call me on it. “What about...
