I realize that the quality of my blogging has been slipping precipitously, but what I saw last night on PBS really made me think about throwing in the towel completely. No matter how much effort I put into my work, I know in my heart that it is never even going to approach the level of humor that this man has consistently reached for over 25 years now. But, on the other hand, he also looked as though he's about to drop dead, and once that happens the mantle will be mine for the taking.
