The Wind Made Me Do It.

I've been having a lot of fun with the anti-climactic storm we were threatened with here in South Jersey. But what we should really take away from this is how really funny it is that we have no control over anything. Look at all the expensive technology we have predicting the weather. But no matter how hard we try to plan, we are literally at the mercy of how the wind blows. Impermanence is a very Buddhist thought. The weatherman has very impermanent accuracy. After all it's called Acu-weather not accurate weather.

It's a pretty cushy job too. Right? You hang out drinking coffee in the news studio and then you get your big moment pointing in the wrong direction in front of the blue screen. "Whoops! Nebraska isn't on the East Coast." You have a big laugh and send it back to the people who actually can read a Teleprompter. You also get a cool middle name like Hurricane or Tornado. Now that's a living.

But the best part of the greatest jobs in the world is that you can mess up and still have a job. Tony Romo can botch a snap and cost his team the super bowl in 2006. Then sign a $67.5 million contract in 2007. I mean meteorologists can just say "Ooops. The wind blew. My bad.", have their prediction be 75 miles off and try agin tomorrow. Your drawer is off at Target by $2 and you're in the cheese line. 

So what did we learn today? Whenever you mess up summon your inner weatherman. Or bang a super model like Tony Romo. Either way own your power and feel better. Let's start the movement.

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!
