From Across the Room
Love at first sight
From across the room
my eyes lay hold
on beauty
charisma
and mysteries untold
From across the room
my fingers now trace
your eyes
full mouth
the shape of your face
From across the room
my heart skips a beat
as my soul seeks you out
and our eyes finally meet
From across the room
the light in the room changes
as you make your way near
our names we exchange with
kind words, flirts, and fear
From across the room
Fifty years in
the light in the room still changes
when you walk in
Our love is like Springtime
fresh, new, and abloom
I still fall in love with you
close up,
or from across the room

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
