Then we hit a sunset paddleboarding session riding waves. It seemed to me that standup paddleboarding is very rare here cuz no one could believe their eyes that we were riding waves on the things. After sunset we went to the pool, got a massage (A REGULAR ONE-$8.50 for an hour!) then passed out for some much needed sleep. It is now 720am and we are off to breakfast- Thai food every meal!]]> http://jmh13.com/blog.html/phuket_day_1 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:20:51 -0700 - JMH - THOUGHTS http://jmh13.com/blog.html/12th_anniversary Twelve years of late nights, songs, and crazy stories. Thanks everybody for keeping me on vacation.]]> http://jmh13.com/blog.html/12th_anniversary Thu, 05 Aug 2010 09:20:18 -0700 - JMH - THOUGHTS http://jmh13.com/blog.html/we_routinely_play_life_on_legendary_anonymous_us_special_forces Well, they gave me a plaque and several different "uniform" items. I was even allowed to be in their class graduation photo- which shocked me. However, on Thursday night, after graduation, they asked me to wear the class tshirt.
About halfway thru my show, they joined me onstage. The class commander held out the badge with one hand and drove the badge into my chest with his other hand like a hammer. The rest of the class walked by in single file and pounded the badge embedded in my chest-- with a couple "resets," as a favor to increase bleeding.
Bye the end of my show the white class tshirt looked as tho its wearer had been working in a slaughter house. What a distinct honor and what a great group of guys!]]> http://jmh13.com/blog.html/we_routinely_play_life_on_legendary_anonymous_us_special_forces Wed, 07 Jul 2010 18:00:09 -0700 - JMH - THOUGHTS http://jmh13.com/blog.html/happy_fourth_of_july On this weekend, 13 years ago, I was doing a show in the Highlands of Scotland at a bar called "The Stables." Not only was I the only American in the bar, but I was the only non British citizen in the bar. Towards the end of the show, being the Fourth of July, I sang THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER. Then, I proceeded to remind the audience that it was the anniversary of us kicking their asses back in 1783 (when the war officially ended with "The Treaty of Paris").
The rest of the night was a bit foggy, but I woke in the morning on the side of a mountain, surrounded by sheep-- wearing nothing but my boxers. For those that don't know, the Highlands are freaking COLD, even in July.
So with a smile on my face, I began the long trek down the mountain back to civilization. All in all it was a Happy Fourth of July.]]> http://jmh13.com/blog.html/happy_fourth_of_july Sat, 03 Jul 2010 14:26:13 -0700 - JMH - THOUGHTS http://jmh13.com/blog.html/hey_ladies_wanna_party_with_some_great_americans http://jmh13.com/blog.html/hey_ladies_wanna_party_with_some_great_americans Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:45:18 -0700 - JMH - THOUGHTS http://jmh13.com/blog.html/some_people_listen Anyway, I left for KEY WEST FEST at Blarney Island first thing on friday morning. When I arrived at my show tonight at Irish Kevin's in Key West, there was a cup filled with British Pound coins in the entertainer's room labeled "FOR JMH." To whomever left those for me- THANKS ALOT. That was very cool you heard, remembered, and acted on it.]]> http://jmh13.com/blog.html/some_people_listen Thu, 24 Jun 2010 00:25:33 -0700 - JMH - THOUGHTS http://jmh13.com/blog.html/friday_night
I noticed it was a little dark for 7pm during summer. So, I checked the day/date on my cellphone and realized it was Saturday morning. I had played my show the night before and woke up after 3 hours asleep, feeling fully rested. I laughed a little and went back to bed. Thank God.]]> http://jmh13.com/blog.html/friday_night Sat, 12 Jun 2010 12:19:39 -0700 - JMH - THOUGHTS http://jmh13.com/blog.html/still_crazy_after_all_these_years Even tho alot of those things happened in other countries on other continents, I always was able to come back to the stage in Key West and talk about them. It just struck me as odd last night. I'm not sure why.

Maybe it was the 2 1/2 ounce shots of 151 those Royal Navy hooligans kept sending up. At least now I know why they were laughing when I was doing them!]]> http://jmh13.com/blog.html/still_crazy_after_all_these_years Fri, 11 Jun 2010 06:58:30 -0700 - JMH - THOUGHTS
