Funny Motivational Speaker Looks at Road Construction

Funny Motivational Speaker Looks at Road Construction

A funny motivational speaker gets to travel a lot. And that’s annoying after a while. Particularly when you’re navigating road construction. Most of my work as a funny motivational speaker involves travel by plane, but lately I’ve spent more time than normal traveling by car. I’m glad this happened when fuel prices spiked. I have…

Funny Motivational Speaker goes to the Post Office

Funny Motivational Speaker goes to the Post Office

Funny Motivational Speaker heads to the Post Office.  Yikes! Going to the Post Office sometimes (okay, every time) requires patience. Particularly if you’re a funny motivational speaker with a short patience span. Every time. Not some of the time. Every time.  I swear every time I go to the post office, I get behind THAT…

Funny Motivational Speaker and his Girls

Funny Motivational Speaker and his Girls

Funny Motivational Speaker and his Daughters throw a Spectacular Surprise Birthday Party. My spectacular daughters threw a surprise 60th birthday party for me. And yes, I’m okay with being 60. Beats the options. This party was the most creative and amazing function I’ve ever been to, and I’ve seen a few. The surprise, the videos,…

Funny Motivational Speaker and his Pets

Funny Motivational Speaker and his Funny Pets

I make a living as a funny motivational speaker making people laugh (hopefully). But my pets make me laugh. Pets are great companions because they love you unconditionally, as long as you give them a treat or scratch them behind the ears. I scratched my wife behind the ears once and found it’s apparently different…

Funny Motivational Speaker or Grumpy Old Man?

Funny Motivational Speaker or Grumpy Old Man?

I make a living as a funny motivational speaker, but sometimes I wonder if I’m a grumpy old man. Such was the case on a recent flight. It was just one flight, but I had to ask myself that question. The row of kids behind me kept kicking the seat and slamming the trays up…

Funny Motivational Speaker is Mom's Favorite

Funny Motivational Speaker is Mom’s Favorite

Funny Motivational Speaker is Mom’s favorite, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. But since I’m her favorite, this blog is for her. Why? Because her birthday is this month. She always tells me I’m her favorite, although I’m pretty sure she tells my four siblings the same thing. I’m pretty sure she means…

Funny Motivational Speaker and a Dump Truck Don't Mix

Funny Motivational Speaker and a Dump Truck Don’t Mix

Funny Motivational Speaker is asked by his contractor brother to drive a dump truck across half the U.S.  No problem?  Right. My brother is a contractor. Sometime back he called and told me he’d bought a dump truck in Florida and needed someone to drive it to his place in Oklahoma. He asks if I’ll…

Funny Motivational Speaker Attempts a Man Hug

Funny Motivational Speaker Attempts a Man Hug on Stage

Funny Motivational Speaker attempts a “man hug” and it goes horribly wrong. As you might guess, over the course of more than 30 years of stage work I’ve had a lot of crazy stuff happen. I’m not just talking the normal things like dishes crashing (how about not trying to carry 20 at a time),…

Funny Motivational Speaker is Aging

Funny Motivational Speaker is Aging

Funny Motivational Speaker is aging but I’m totally okay with that. You’ll look in the mirror and say, “when did I get so old?” Sometimes it’s when you have a birthday, or even more telling…when your child has one. Or when you have to actually get on the floor for something and you find yourself…

Funny Motivational Speaker Asks What Happened to Handles

Funny Motivational Speaker Asks What Happened to Handles

Funny Motivational Speaker Asks What Happened to Handles.  Why won’t auto-faucets ever work for me. I thought they were a timeless invention. I’m talking about the handles that adorn bathroom fixtures in public places. Like many of us, I struggle with technology. Maybe more than most. On my first computer purchase I asked the clerk…
