“To sea!”, was the call several months ago. Upon the maelstrom we were, a hearty crew set on a heroic task. That task being: the capture and paring down of a show. Where there are squid there are whales and where sketches arise like water devils a comedy show can be had. And had it was, as it were.

It’s good to be back and thank you for all your kind words of encouragement from the far-flung duchies of the Patch community. The Captain is shipworn and thankful for safe portage, happy for the scratching of quill on parchment, thus mooring us in thoughtful tether.
As my good friend and mentor William Howard Taft used to say, “Send for help, I’ve been captured by the bathtub!” , and so it is and so are we…together. From our travels we bring to you comfort food for the weary soul, an island paradise in a stormy sea. This episode is “Pow!

Nothing can deter Earl from his dream of rock and roll stardom. No rubber glove can contain his exuberance and passion for dancing and/or stuffing things.
This archetypical story of the hero will warm your heart, soothe your mind and cause irreversible opinions based on one small example. This is true.
Best regards,
Cap’n Bud
