Donald Trump and his followers remind me of when back in the day you would go to the auditorium to listen to the class president debates and one of the candidates would promise we would have Pizza Day every day in the cafeteria and everyone would go wild. Pizza days never came after all.

Last night I discovered the words to tie together a mantra I use with the framework I center my approach to improvising in general. My mind is still blown. So grateful that I am still learning and growing in this craft.

Ever find a cologne that smells so good that you keep surprising yourself with just how good it is only to remember you're the one wearing it? I've been in a constant state of reminders for the last two hours.

Just remembered getting an informal "cease and desist" phone call years ago from a producer of what was at the time a very prominent improv group regarding the introduction we used to describe our show to audience members.

✅ Emailed a proposal for a new workshop for a theater.
✅ Followed up with 3 different people to see if we can work on getting workshops in April out of state.
✅ Updated Improductions' website
✅ Worked on some stand-up to do this week at an open stage.
Still feel like I ain't done 💩.
