Marc Maron Live

I’ve been a Marc Maron fan for a long time. These days I don’t really listen to the podcast very much. When I worked in a one-person library for years I listened to podcasts all day. Things are different now. For some reason I can’t concentrate on work when I have headphones one, whereas I can if a podcast is just playing on the speakers.

We went to see him perform last night at the Majestic Theatre, in Dallas.

It was a great show. Marc performed for two hours. That’s a solid show. We were supposed to see him last year but the tour was rescheduled. The show would have been quite different back then. Last night Marc came out and talked about Trump and his band of lunatics and kooks for a bit, but unlike when I do it Marc was funny. He had some really nice creative insulting names for them. It was cathartic and much appreciated.

The rest of the show was pretty typical Maron, which is fine. We laughed hard. We needed that. Honestly, I could listen to Marc talk about his cats for a long time. I love cats. Marc loves cats. He’s my people.

I was trying to remember when I read his first couple of books. They were super good. Then I remember that I blogged about them when I read them! That is a benefit of being a longtime compulsive blogger.

Here’s the stage before the show started last night. I love the Majestic. Great place to see a show.

The week thus far…

It’s Wednesday evening.

Work at the public library has been rewarding this week. Taught a Resume Design class last night at Workforce Solutions, which is really the Texas Workforce Commission. The people were nice, engaged, and appreciative, and we love doing that kind of work. For the people I work with creating a good resume is not a hard thing, but honestly for many people it isn’t easy and they can use the help. So we help. Being a public librarian makes me feel good every day.

My spouse has been sick with a stomach virus but is on the mend, but I’ve stayed home from Aikido this week to give her help at home after work and let her get the rest she needs.

I’ve been working on my Traveller RPG campaign in the evenings. That has been fun. Looking forward to playing in March, when we will revive our long-running campaign that has been dormant for the last year due to people moving and other examples of life getting in the way.

Saturday I’ll be interviewing someone for my Traveller podcast. Looking forward to that.

Found out today that a dear friend is looking at some serious health problems. Not happy about that.

That’s all.
