Poolside: The Female Half (l) and the Female Half’s Dad.

One must rise early to get in a workout before the 100+-degree heat kicks in. Next weekend, we swing around the Grand Canyon and head for Mesquite, where we’ll do a couple shows at the Club Xtreme at the Oasis.

It’s Mort Sahl’s 80th birthday. AP says, “In college he majored in traffic engineering and city management but he gained fame by pioneering a form of standup comedy that opened the door for such comics as Lenny Bruce and Dick Gregory.” He shares a birthday with Salvador Dali and Phil Silvers. How’s that for a great party crew? Beats the Female Half’s gang of Mother Theresa, Confucius and Peewee Herman. (The Male Half celebrates on the same day as John Glenn, Red Skelton and Dick Button.)
