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 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 will probably fail at New Year’s resolutions like everybody else. I’ve always thought resolutions were something that went in one year and out the other. They’re soft goals that seldom get met because they just fizzle out over time. And the bigger deal you make out of them, the bigger disappointment you…
Funny Motivational Speaker and IRS encounters can be funny. Or not. I’m beginning to think that a career as a funny motivational speaker “red flags” you for an audit from the IRS. Why? Well, you might not believe this, but I just completed my fourth audit in six years. I didn’t mistype. Four of the…
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,…
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…
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, 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 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 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…
