I got asked to join a comedy troupe. And by this I mean an already established group that has shows all over the country - like Second City. So my questions had to be answered a little faster than what I'd have hoped, but it was for the best in the end, I think.
I turned them down. As much as I want to keep doing comedy, I think the price would be too high. So my alter ego, Dave DeLong, has been officially retired. Oh, I'll still do some stand-up now & again if Workhouse gets hired for it, but I'm not going to waste time or effort to chase an elusive dream. You guys actually helped me see the big picture and I thank you for it.
So there you have it. For the second time I'm giving up my dream for my family and a more comfortable and consistent life. And as with the last time, I'm totally at peace with this decision. Omaha is nice this time of year. I think I'll stick around and enjoy it.
