2006

A professional highlight or two:
• Wall Street Journal feature Comedy Comes Clean
• C-Span’s broadcast of Funniest Celebrity in Washington
• A documentary on the positive power of humor produced by SBS (Seoul Broadcasting System) and hosted by the charming Joo Cheung. I’m told it’s not too late to order your satellite receiver. Hangul Taehan-min'guk!
• Laughing Matters with Brett Leake is picked up by American Public Television marking its fourth consecutive year of distribution to the nation’s public television stations.

Geology short list

- The Suffolk scarp near the Jericho Ditch entrance to Dismal Swamp this time with an article on the Chesapeake Bay Bolide in hand.

Turns out present day landscapes are still taking a cue from a cosmic visitor 35 million years ago.

- The Virgin River Gorge on the Nevada/Utah border of Interstate 15 this time with a geology map in hand.

Turns out you’re driving through the Grand Canyon and Wind Cave National Park.
