I was hoping to listen to an online recording of Paul Harris' radio interview with comedian Robert Schimmel. Unfortunately, the link is broken. Some of Harris' other interviews are available, but I really wanted to hear the Schimmel one because he talks about his appearance on "Hollywood Squares" during its early-2000s run. He said the producers kept stopping the taping because of responses like this:

HOST: If you are reaching for your mashy or your niblet, what are you doing?
ROBERT SCHIMMEL: Playing Twister with Louie Anderson.


He didn't realize that "Family Feud" (which Anderson hosted at the time) taped in a nearby studio!

EDIT: Here's a stand-up video where he talks about his "Squares" experience:

On Friday, I was supposed to... RUNNY NOSE! BRB!

Sorry about that. My allergies really act up during the late-spring/early-summer.

Anyway, I was supposed to meet with the Singles Cruise group on Friday at the Rock Bottom Restaurant on Denver's 16th Street Mall. I've been there lots of times since that's where my improv class would go after class. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask if we were supposed to meet in the restaurant, on the patio or in the back bar. I did a quick walk-through of the place (without finding the group) before finding a table in the bar and having dinner.

That Rock Bottom location has changed a bit since I last went there. They no longer have parking tokens for the garage below the restaurant. Instead, they validate the parking vouchers. Also, at the exit of the garage, there's a machine which automatically scans the vouchers and takes the payment. I guess the attendant is still there to check if the voucher is validated or in case there's a problem with the machine.

I brought the Robert Schimmel CD "If You Buy This CD, I Can Get This Car" to play during the drive up and back. I love the material he does about his life, especially the pamphlet he got following his heart attack about resuming sex.
