The Comedy of Craig Ferguson

My thanks go out to Craig Ferguson this morning. As I've been clearing things out of the house, I had an offer to move up to the Dallas-Ft.Worth area and care for a relative's elderly father. I would have a fairly posh place on the lake, a salary, a car, etc.

I have to be honest. I seriously considered it for a day or so because I need a gig and have a passion for the plight of the elderly. But then I had to get real. While waiting to discuss the details of the somewhat dreaded deal (which was to have been temporary at my request anyway) I happened to watch some clips from The Late Late Show.

Here's the one that gave me the message I so needed to hear.



So thanks Craig for the reminder. I wonder how many other people he has been able to help by being honestly funny and compassionate at the same time? What a gift to have him on the air. Meanwhile, here's another CF monologue for the road.
