Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime

Performed at the Chicago Irish American Heritage Center about ten days ago. Great fun. Good audiences. Thanks, Sheila, Frank, Caroline and Erin.
Sold several copies of CLEAN CABBAGE, and received the compliments and thanks of those that had bought the book on my last visit.
Met a happy couple that had been passengers on the Celebrity cruise ship HORIZON where I was once the "Under-the-stairwell, out-by-the-pool-deck, in-front-of-the-clean-towel-rack, beside-the-soiled-towel-bin, facing-the-recycled-trash-cans GIG!!!!
To their credit, they journeyed, once a day, to the main desk to register their complaint that someone of Dennis O'Rourke's caliber should be forced to suffer the indignities that accompanied this ridiculous "station" he had been given.
Didn't/Never do no good, but thanks, Tom and Sue.

I'm gonna post some of the diary I kept while performing aboard the Horizon. Why not? There's a laugh or two there, though I didn't think a damn bit of it was funny at the time. I'll post it soon on my web site: www.dennisorourke.com

That's it. I've been away a while. Bought a house. My very first. Year #1 anniversary tomorrow. I'm out in the country. There's 250 acres of forest out back. Course, only one of them is mine, but the rest might just as well be. Lookit that moon. AAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
