The Terrible Catsafterme

On Friday night, immediately following the taping of The Tonight Show, Jimmy and I headed over to the Magic Castle, where we met up with my longtime friend Rick Greene, Jimmy’s parents, Dave, and Bob. This was my second time at the Castle, my first being during my visit in the Fall of ’05. Rick is a member – so both times we came as his guest. The place is outstanding.

The answer of course: our Myrtle Beach trip from the Summer of 2006, and the activities of Wednesday, August 2 and Thursday, August 3. 

After the brain-smashing evening at the Pavilion and Haunted House, we were ready to kick back the next morning with some relaxing swimming time. This was only interrupted by the cornhole tournament where Ashleigh finally secured her victory – and thus her trophy. You can read more about that here… Read the rest of this entry »
