It is amazing how the hours can get away from you. I am trying to get in the habit, as of 2015, of blocking out my time each day. However these little habits take time to develop. Because I had blocked out time in the morning to blog today and it's 4:00p.m. and I am just starting this post.
But things happen. Yesterday I got a last minute private gig out of town and didn't get home until 2:00a.m., I had to do a favor for a buddy this morning, and I am still recovering from the generous offer of the host of the party last night to "Help Myself" to the Knob Creek included open bar. Hey, I didn't want to insult the guy!
What my life could use is a good old musical montage. You know the like the one in Rocky IV. Where in the time it takes John Cafferty to sing "Hearts on Fire" Rocky gains all the strength stamina, and confidence he needs to defeat the steroid-laden, eighties-haircut wearing Russian. Who is training in a state of the art gym while the Italian Stallion is doing torso twists with an oxen yoke around his neck in an old barn. How great would that be? Anything you wanted to do; remodel a house (Point of No Return), sew a prom dress, (Pretty in Pink), or learn a sport, literally a-n-y sport can be done in under four minutes.
Now THAT is something that I wish my iPhone could do. "Directions to." "Where would you like to go?""To the Olympics for the uneven parallel bars via 80's movie musical montage." "Getting directions to the uneven parallel bars." Don't worry. I would put my medals up in The Cloud for safe keeping.

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!
