She So Funny

Two weeks ago, I went with my buddy to an event at Van Cortlandt Park where we, along with a small group, rode a canoe.  There were many small groups getting into canoes.  This event was for all ages.  They usually do it for school-aged children.  With life vests on, we paddled in Van Cortlandt Lake.  It felt so meditative to me.  Peaceful. 

However, when it was time to get up, I had a difficult time standing up though I managed.  Getting out of the canoe involved stepping up higher than my legs would lift me.  My thigh muscles were not able to do their job.  I was scared.  My body just couldn’t do it.  So with two people trying to help me, I managed to get on the rock but only on my knees.  I crawled a few feet to allow the people behind me to get out of the canoe.  Then I was on grass but still on all fours.  My buddy and a woman took an arm each, and I leaned on them a lot in order to stand.  Geez.  That scared me enough to start doing exercises for my legs and taking the stairs up a flight more regularly.

My, my, my.  I still think of myself as young-ish and pretty (though with more pounds to lose), but my body seems to have another opinion.  Hopefully, I’ll get things better.  

So come see this pretty, young-ish woman, who had to crawl out of a canoe, do her hilarious comedy on Saturday night!  November 1^st, 9pm, at Pangea on 2^nd Avenue between 11^th and 12^th Streets, East Village, NYC.  Tickets in advance are $10.  Tickets at the door are $15.

Pangea, a beautiful cabaret room, has a $20 food/drink minimum.  I hear the food is very, very good.  The line-up will definitely cause much laughter.  Paul Hallasy produces and hosts the EAT DRINK LAUGH show.  He’s hilarious all by himself.

Hope to see you and hear you laughing!

So much love always to CGG-M  ❤❤❤

Hello people.  Thanks for coming back to read my updates.  I appreciate your interest.

        On Saturday, November 1^st at 9pm, I’m on the line-up in Paul Hallasy’s Eat Drink Laugh show at Pangea, 178 2^nd Avenue (near 12^th Street) NYC.  $10 in advance; $15 at the door.  

Hi people.  I am happy to share that I am teaching a creative writing class once a week to people who are retired and now doing things they really want to do.  They are delightful.  The levels vary, and that’s fine.  I appreciate their motivation and enthusiasm.

        For those of you who would like to attend a free comedy show in Manhattan, I am on the line-up for Randy Epley’s Comedy Dungeon Show at Kama, 36 West 106^th Street, 8:30pm on Thursday, October 9^th.  You may even BYOB.

I’ve been selling merchandise – books, clothes, jewelry, electric rollers, dishes, other household items, etc. -- in front of my building.  Currently, my neighborhood is mainly Dominican.  Many folks speak little or no English.  I speak very little Spanish.  Somehow, we manage.  I am using more of whatever Spanish I learned in school, and they are using whatever English they know.  Younger people translate when needed.  It’s all good.

Community is more about hearts than anything else.

My next show on City Island is on 12/12/2025 at 8pm, only $15 cover and NO minimum!  Laughter is truly guaranteed.  Details to follow.  Mark your calendars now.  I’d LOVE to see you and hear you laughing.

So much love to CGG-M ❤💖💖❤
