People, I have criss-crossed the nation and then some in the past week.

LA to New York, back to LA, up to Vegas, finishing off in Burbank at the baggage claim chatting with Michael Buffer of “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble” fame (who coincidently lives in the Valley like myself) about last night’s De La Hoya/Bernard Hopkins card at Mandalay Bay.

My yearly Spring trip to Manhattan was a success, dinner with A-Rod and David Cone went off without a hitch, Colin Quinn and the staff at Tough Crowd say hello, the Lower East Side still embraces me, plus many other exciting developments!

Gotta pay respect to Ronald Reagan, he was a prominent figure throughout my youth, a great communicator known for his humor and love of country.

The 80’s were a fun time, that’s how the world should be today! Cocaine, AIDS, the comedy boom and ET (both movie and TV show) were prominent fixtures on a new and exciting landscape. I was wearing green Izod shirts with Sperry Top-Siders, no socks and braces, eating Domino’s Pizza high atop The Sunset Strip, no lie.

(but still getting picked on at school for running like a gay nerd [which I WAS NOT] and being hairy)

Curious, I wonder how Reagan would fair in today’s vicious media age.

He also had a ranch and loved sports.

And kids let’s not forget D-Day, we helped liberate France from the Germans, where were you Franken? (Yogi Berra was 300 yards off shore in Normandy, true story, read it in today’s New York Post - same day on the West Coast).

We’re in the midst of OUR Cold War. Now is the time to truly go out there and win one for the Gipper.
