I get the funny feeling I've been here before. Not exactly déjà vu, more like dévà ju.

lovely bastard. extroverted introvert. social hermit. surfer hippie dude. electronically reprocessed for stereo. less is more, more or less.
Checked in a woman for her flight yesterday, last name Starr. "I've got one of those Beatle names, too." I said.

But she grew up in Green Bay. Instead of Ringo they would ask if she was related to Bart.

I was having lunch at Legal Seafoods in Boston years ago when my girlfriend jokingly points to the table behind me and says "Is that Elvis Costello?"

I turn to look and say, "Are you serious?"

"Well, he KINDA looks like him."

"That IS Elvis Costello!"

We let him enjoy his clam chowder.

I heard this one both yesterday and today, oddly, over the airport sound system. Always loved this Costello/McCartney collaboration. Such odd timing as I just found out an old family friend passed away from Alzheimer's. I have the single, but have never seen this sad video.

I'm sorry, I was having a rave up with The Yardbirds.

Well I may shake your hand
But I won't know your name
The joke in your language
Don't come out the same
There's times when I'm down and
There's nothing to blame

Some days I can't find my reading glasses, other days (today) I find myself with three pairs.

How does that happen?

While rebooking the endless line of customers today due to flight cancellations, I look up and, for a split second, swear I see Alfred Hitchcock. Looked an awful lot like him. I wondered if I was living in one of his creepy films and he was just making his obligatory cameo.

Create myself down South
Impress all the women

Order placed. It's sad that we have to pretend to be Canadian when traveling abroad, but geographically I am closer to Canada than I am to the Gulf of America.

Spamalot’s Producer ran the entire Kennedy Center for many years and of course immediately resigned when the idiots arrived. The booking however was already made. He may enjoy them having to suck it up when Lancelot comes out. It’s somewhere else next week.
I know you're not the one booking the shows but at least one scheduled performer is canceling her dates as of this week and more are considering the same. Hamilton backed out months ago. Just made me wonder if Spamalot's producers were having those conversations.

Guy rushes up to me saying, "Hold on, that's my bag, the one with the pineapple name tag!"

My cat Rascal's got a schnozzola. Kinda reminds me of Jimmy Durante's.

From 2003, I believe this was the last time Neil Innes & @ericidle.bsky.social performed together (I know Neil had a very brief onstage cameo alongside the Pythons in Eric's NOT THE MESSIAH a few years later)...

Lest you think I am all humbuggery, I gift you Bob Dylan's incredible accordion jam Must Be Santa where he rumbles through the lyrics like he's somehow on both Adderall and Valium. I fucking love this song, it's insane.

I had a customer today, last name Lennon. Told her I don't see that name much. Told her I've got one of those Beatle names, too.

Harrison, not Dave.

Another one to file away in the "Things That Make Me Feel Older" folder:

A new colleague asked today, "Did you ever go by the nickname 'Richard Marx'?" I told her there was only one guy who ever called me that. And that was years ago. "Wait, do you know Diego?"

"Yeah, he's my dad."
