After returning to solid earth (after gliding a few hundred feet above the planet, courtesy of Kid Dave Miller), we headed to Atlanta for a week at the Punchline, sharing the bill with Birmingham native (and Blue Collar TV cast member) Heath Hyche.

The week was capped nicely by a guest announcer kicking off Sunday night’s show: George Lowe, the voice of Cartoon Network’s Space Ghost, did the opening announcements– as Space Ghost, of course! (He even identified the Female Half of the Staff as “my (Space Ghost)’s former wife!”) A real hoot!

The staff of the Punchline was, as always, gracious and friendly– even easing the pain of the Female Half’s 40th birthday (Saturday night!) with a smiley face-bedecked ice cream cake!

Hyche’s Elvis impersonator routine was one of those bits you made sure you were in the room for– as many times as possible!

Because of the westwad turn of hurricane Katrina, we’ll be driving home in sparkling weather tomorrow. We hope all the fine folks we’ve come to know in New Orleans are safe and sound and far north of the Big Easy and we hope they don’t sustain any damage!
