odd birthday with Christina!

I'm so glad I decided to join this "live" show instead of stay with "Oh, boy, I'm a stand-up comic".
Here was comedy with friends, though I doubt anyone was standing!
Kimmi and Deborah were there already, making a suggestion for "Three-Headed Storyteller".
Was that, perhaps, a birthday62 pony?
Hahahaha! Hahaha!

Then there was the "World's Worst", for a game where everybody played!
Who might that be for this episode of Friday Funnies?
Well, the emcee was Chris Soucy- hey, that rhymed, if you hold your mouth just right!
He's the one that my suggestion of "birthday clown" was made for, as I know he is such a fan of those - NOT!
(smile!)
Then, they took the suggestion from Christina for the worst "improv actor"!
You know they all had to chime in on that one!
I'm so glad that first niece of mine is able to join me for these Odd Lot shows!
Once upon a rare time, she joined me downtown for a rare Friday improv at Muse Arts Warehouse.
It's been wonderful to have that opportunity to be with her 'live on fb' these past few weeks!

Christina also got in the request for Jason Arons to be "the guy who jumps out of a birthday cake" as lucky number three in the "Bachelor Game".
How sweet of Chris to start chiming in with "happy birthday, Faustina!" every time she or I threw in that word with our suggestion!
And how nice that she managed to get several selected, including this one for "Good, Bad, Ugly"!

"How to make a 2 year old go to bed so you can watch improv" - hahahaha!
Good luck with that, my dear!
So, to show how much I love her - and love her being 'here' with me - I threw in the word "stargazer" - I knew she would like seeing that on the screen, while Lynita Spivey and Ryan McCurdy worked on being "ejected from Disney World".

Then, she and I had one last opportunity to take part in a game together!
I honestly don't get the reference for "Scenes From The Net", but it definitely has a "spitballing ideas for a script" feel to it.
She had the whole crew weighing in on "things you can say to yourself but not to anyone else".
Oddly, no one said "Terence, this is stupid stuff" -
I surely would have referenced that poem!
Next, it was my turn to have a say in putting Trick Kelly and the others through their paces in that game!
"Things you can say to your dog but not your cat" - that's what I wanted to know!
That opened up a whole plethora of directives that a feline would ignore!
How lovely to have had yet another birthday in the #oddlot universe, as I have once or twice before!
Thanks for letting me and Christina hijack the show!

After the show that night, I remained on fb for a while.
I had more than eighty birthday greetings from those who know and love him, so I took the time to thank each and every one of them, individually, for granting me those moments in their lives.
I always try to show my gratitude and I think it's especially important during this time of pandemic, when we are constantly reminded about how short life is.
While I was doing so, Kevin called to wish me happy birthday!
He had gotten the day wrong, but we spoke for half an hour, so I forgive him - lol!
And it took over an hour, but I managed to thank all the well-wishers - life is good!
