Commitment

I've been married so many times, I have rice marks on my face.

4 times, to be exact. How does that happen? Easy. Just get divorced three times.

I know I have commitment issues. I always have. I'm getting better as I age (don't ask my wife), most likely because I'm a tiny bit less stubborn, and willing to say I'm sorry, instead of getting defensive when I've done something wrong.

Why now? For starters, it's the right thing to do. Secondly, I don't want another divorce.

There is an upside to all of this. 4 honeymoons! That's a joke. It's embarrassing to admit to the number of marriages, although this time it will be 15 years in a month or so.

I've had many jobs. I've always been paid well, and when I found a better offer, I almost always jumped at it. Companies have commitment issues as well. There's no such thing as company/employee loyalty today. When the company finds someone who can do what you do, and is willing to do it for less, see ya.

Knowing that, it made sense to me to jump at better offers. Most of the time, it worked well, but not always. Once or twice it was disastrous. All in all, it worked out well.

Doing stand up always helped keep me sort of stable, and was handy when I wanted a little extra cash. Teaching stand up and improvisation was something I loved, cash or not. I loved it.

I published my curriculum in two books, "You're Funny! You Should Be A Comedian!" and "The Hosting Survival Guide". Click here to take a peek.

For having made a good living, for a long time, you'd think I'd have a pretty decent nest egg. Nope. The moral? Divorces are expensive.

See you tomorrow.
