Yesterday was not an awesome day, and I was struggling. (For other reasons, too.)

I was g-chatting with my girl Kendyl and she sensed that I needed some sort of distraction.

So I headed down to the West Village to meet her at the Comedy Cellar for a free comedy show. We saw William Stephenson (pictured above), Gregg Rogell, David Baker, Keith Robinson, Tom Papa, Eddie Ifft and Robert Kelly. I can’t say I knew who any of these people were before, but Kendyl says she saw Judah Friedlander here before he was on 30 Rock, so you never know. After an hour and a half of belly laughing, I left feeling much better. (And incredibly thankful for having an awesome friend like Kendyl.)

I’ve been waking up and heading straight for e-mail to get stuff done the past few weeks, but I woke up this morning and took Bailey for a long walk to the water and to a riverside dog park. I left my phone at home and unplugged for a little while, and it was glorious.

I came back and made some cookie dough oats and coffee and am back to work at some serious interview follow-up.
