In Progress
My oracle, Robin Hill, recommended I develop my sense of humor to put at the service of humankind. She wasn’t, I think, suggesting I have no sense of humor, but that I should further develop the quasi-semi-extraordinary sense I already have. Anyway, even before Robin made this suggestion, I had began working with my friend, Jessica Cohen, to lead the comedy club at the Sacramento Waldorf school. Here is a portion of a monologue I delivered to the club this past Wednesday: “So yesterday I was playing whiffle ball in the backyard with my buddy — he was pitching and I was hitting. It was the bottom of the ninth inning: there were two outs; the bases were loaded and the count was full. I was losing by three runs. If I were to hit a home run over the backyard fence I would win. The crowd noise in my head was deafening! As I was waiting for buddy’s pitch, perspiration accumulating on my forehead, I remembered all those years playing in Major Leagues when I imagined hitting a home run at just this moment.”
