She So Funny

    Hello again.  Isn’t it amazing, here in NYC, to go from summer to winter in three days!?  Life isn’t boring even when we don’t factor in people.

    I happened to come across a song that was banned in the 1950s.  Compared to what is deemed acceptable now, I find it remarkable.

His Balls Got Stuck In His Zipper

    Last week was action-packed for me.  There was one event I had hoped to attend that I didn’t.  That was disappointing, but there were reasons.  I achieved most of what I needed to do.

    Today I got an email that a poem of mine is getting published.  My poem is  called “On Virginity.”  It is inspired by the style of poet Hal Sirowitz.

    This Tuesday, 4/21, my part-time job resumes.  I’m teaching creative writing in ten-week sessions to retirees of a labor union.  I began last September which was the fall cycle.  Then in January, we began the winter cycle.  Now will be the spring cycle.  Each cycle brings new students and some who are taking the class again.  Then that’s it for the teaching year.  If registration shows interest, it will go on next fall.

    The students and I are in the same age range, and most of us want to have written our stories before leaving this Earth.  It’s a warm togetherness, a safe environment to be vulnerable, and a great part-time job.  And well paid in terms of the hourly rate.

    And now for the funny – I’ll be at Pangea (2^nd Avenue near 12^th Street, NYC) on Saturday, May 2^nd, 9pm show.  Ten dollars in advance; $15 at the door.  Advance tickets here:  May 2nd EAT DRINK LAUGH SHOW

    Pangea has a $20 food/drink minimum in addition.

    Paul Hallasy’s EAT DRINK LAUGH show is always a good time.  Makes a great date – you get to learn a lot about a person by what makes him/her laugh.  Pay attention.

    Mark your calendars for comedy at The Artist, 249 City Island Avenue, on June 19^th.  The Almost Summer Comedy Show guarantees laughter.

Much love to CGG-M  ❤❤❤

    Hey everyone.  I attended a wonderful reading by Steve Zeitlin at Barnes and Noble’s Thursday night on 17^th Street, NYC.  His new book "How Do You Wear the Universe?" is a collection of life-affirming poetry and essays by Steve Zeitlin that explores human        experience, creativity, and cultural heritage.

    Today, I better get my butt downstairs and set up my table with items to sell.  I need cash.  Then on Saturday, I am trying out for a game show.  I hope I do what I have to do to get chosen.  Goddess knows, I need it.

    I still have to deal with my taxes.  My best friend’s birthday is the 16^th, an anthology deadline is the 17^th, a reading in memory of Hal Sirowitz is on the 18^th, and then my part time job starts up again on the 21^st.  So for me these days, this is quite busy.  The Bronx Council on the Arts is having a mixer on the 23^rd.  I want to get there.  I hope my best buddy can attend also, but either way, I want to be there.

    As far as comedy goes, I will be at Pangea (2nd Avenue near 12th Street)  in the EAT, DRINK, LAUGH show produced by the hilarious Paul Hallasy on Saturday, May 2^nd at 9pm.  Tickets are $15 at the door.  There is also a $20 minimum at the place.  I hear the food is really good.  I have one complimentary ticket left (the minimum still applies).  Let me know quickly if you want the complimentary ticket.  You can let me know in the comments or at mindyinthebronx@gmail.com.

    Then on Juneteenth I will be having my Almost Summer Comedy Show at The Artist on City Island.  Mark your calendars.  I will announce the line-up soon.

    Now, for your amusement, I will share that after so many years of NOT, I finally took my clothes off for a man.  It was for my dermatologist. 

Much love to CGG-M  ❤ 💗 ❤
