Me: Hey, why do you think it is we’re still single?
Me Again: Maybe it’s because we’re talking to each other.

It happened! I’m feeling better! Wooty-woot-woot! It’s funny, how when you’re feeling better, you just KNOW it. But when you’re not feeling better, you don’t even remember what feeling-better feels like.
Yesterday
Me: Am I feeling better today?
Me Again: Maybe. I think so.
Me: Yeah, me too. I mean, it feels like when I’m walking around, I don’t want to go right back to sleep.
Me Again: Yeah. Well, like maybe we can go back to sleep in a little bit, but we don’t have to right now.
Me: Exactly.
Me Again: But we will go back to sleep?
Me: Yeah….I think I might be getting better today……
Me Again: I’m tired.
Today
Me Again: Oh my god! I feel better!
Me: You’re right!
All of Me: WOOOOT!
Sometimes, I think I take myself too literally.
You cannot move your audience unless you are moved.
There’s nothing sadder than someone trying really hard to be funny.
So once again, I look down at the pages of my notebook–the one I use when I’m coaching improv, teaching improv, and directing shows–and I notice that a note I wrote for creating an engaging and sincere moment on stage applies to creating an engaging and sincere moment in life.
It matters less what we say to each other than how we feel about each other.
Yes, yes. So very true.
I sure am lucky that I’m such a happy person. Otherwise, I’d be miserable.
