organ donorToday I became an organ donor. Not to worry. It has been on my driver's license for years. I'm talking about a pipe organ. It's way easier. I don't even need to die first. I just needed to put all my wrinkly dollars in the box as I left the free tour at Boardwalk Hall. Did you know that Atlantic City boasts the world's largest organ? Insert sex joke here. Mine went like this: "Second largest," said one of my neighbors. "Did I loft that softball high enough for ya," I said. I love living in this city.
But it is true the world's largest pipe organ is housed in historic Boardwalk Hall right on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. The same place where the Miss America Pageant is held. But not a lot of people know about it. Which is a shame. People will stop to see the world's largest cuckoo clock, loaf of bread, or cheese wheel (all in my home state of Ohio by the way). But millions come to America's Playground and pass on hearing sharps and flats to instead hear black or red.
I am having a great week with my staycation. There is so much here to do that does not involve gambling. You gotta try it. If you are here, know that there is a organ concert/tour daily at noon. There is also a two-hour tour at 10:00a.m. on Wednesdays that takes you into pipe chambers and other lairs not readily available to the general public.

Michelle Tomko's comedy is a fervent blend of tomboy sensibilities courtesy of the older brothers she grew up with in the Midwest and the barrage of perimenopausal chaos the East Coast world has heaped upon her. She pulls her humor from everyday observations and classic stories of family, travel, pets, and adversity. With razor-sharp crowd work and improvisational skills to the rock-solid timing of a veteran performer, Michelle’s act is not to be missed!
