front porch of the jea!

This was meant as a gift for members of the Savannah JEA, but they opened up the comedy show for any and all... so I accepted the invite!
I tried to get a few others to come, including my Monday-night crew, but they had other plans... so I took myself there!
After all, 'tis the season and I love gifts!
I was amazed by how much talk of Christmas there was by the children at the Jewish Educational Alliance!!!
Right place, right time!!!
Front Porch Improv had five members of their troupe present.
I never caught the name of the keyboard man, but the others are Jesse, Abby, Beth, and Ava, and they put on a fabulous hour of fun!!!
I was delighted that they used two of my lines in the comedy skits, too!
The first of those instances was in the second sketch, with Abby and Jesse over at Grayson Stadium playing baseball on the diamond, kinda sorta like I have done there as well as when  I was in Iowa
Jesse had just hit the ball, then he pulled the slip out of his pocket and said, "Are we there yet?" - hahaha!
He told her it was his catchphrase... was that a baseball pun?!?!
I'm saying it was!
(smile!)
The next skit that used a suggestion from me was near the end of the hour.
Jesse was up again, this time for "Press Conference", where he had to guess why he was being lauded.
The other troupe members asked him questions and he found out he was a swimmer who had crossed the Atlantic Ocean, pulling an elephant, with Barney as his travel companion... very funny!
And that bit about the elephant... that was mine!!!
Wondering why that would have been on my mind?
A couple of skits earlier was all about asking the audience for jokes.
Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide!
What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? Frostbite!
Why was the bee's hair spiky? He used a honeycomb!
Hahahaha!
I was going to tell one of Mama's elephant jokes, but missed the chance.
Nice that I got the elephant in there another way.
i thank You, God!
Now, I've been home again, watching the Grand Prix ice skating highlights, aired instead of football by one of the local stations.
Guess what I just saw?
My man, Yuma Kagiyama, winning another silver medal at this event!!!
He's 20 years old now, and still just delightful to watch!
Right place, right time!
