Tired.  Home.  Finally.

North Carolina tour over.  Fun.  Tiring.  Three headliners.  Five cities.  Six days.  Nine shows.  12 hours home.  2100 miles.

Tape deck's dying, radio all the way.  Cold, but no snow.  Greensboro MC wants to buy my closing bit.  Chris Wiles.  Nice guy.  Too much liquor.  Whiskey when I shouldn't have.

Mike McCarthy, Comedy Barbarian.  Nice guy.  Good stories.  Long time, no see.  Good friend.  Dirty comic, like me.  Fun week.

Sunday, Raleigh.  My sister Nickki and her husband, little visit.  Sports bar, watched the Bills play.  Nice visit, frustrating game.  Maybe next year.

Route 15, Pennsylvania.  Long road home.  Nicely decorated, holiday season.  Made me homesick, made me drive faster.

Got home, checked e-mails.  Tons of work for 2007, pair of cancelations for 2006.  Checked books.  Bad year, 2006...down a grand from last year...too many cancelations this year.  Like Buffalo, mathematically eliminated.  Depression sets in.

Too tired to write more.  Next journal, more words.  Maybe some verbs.

Thank you.
