Lifetime Learning and Service with Laughter

A few things I learned this week. First, Malaria is a greater concern to the people of the world then AIDS is....Not what I would of thought, another is in 1963 South Korea and Ghana had the same GNP, not so any more. Newt Gingrich was the speaker at the event Teo, Bettina, and I attended this past week at the Gallup Building in DC. The building and the service from the staff was a definition of First Class, I think even Teo and Bettina were impressed with the show they put on. Excellent Service is something we strive for every day and events like this show us what is possible. Production value alone, but, in this event the content was as impressive. Newt was very personal and engaging and his insights into the world at large were fascinating.

One other thing I learned this week was men and women react differently to the cold. I am not talking about Wanda and myself, but male and female physiology. This I learned in Scuba class, which on a sidebar is beyond belief fun. I have always loved the water but to stay under is an experience everyone should do at some point in your life. But back to what we learned this week, Shivering is the body's sign it is losing the battle to keep itself warm. It is a warning to get warmer or trouble is coming. The trouble that comes differs from men and women. Men's body react by pushing all the blood out to the hands and feet to protect the muscles and tissues in the limbs, while women protect the core. Their blood is kept in the organs and they sacrifice the limbs to save the organs. So a man has to be real careful for organ failure when freezing and a woman can lose their limbs much sooner then a man would.

Speaking of limbs, our Heather's new mantra is Rip and Tear. She is undergoing serious rehab on her shoulders and neck. No pain no gain for the recovery.
If you call our box office Wednesday through Saturday from noon until six you will usually get Heather on the phone, make a reservation and say Hello. This weekend Mike Stork comes to Zig's. Mike is one of those comics that are on the way up and has the whole place cracking up as he goes. Another one who you have seen on our previews and clips.
Last Saturday's show was a sellout. Our first other then Pauly Shore for comedy. We want to thank everyone who is supporting us in this venture of entertainment. CeeJay put on a great show for the crowd. I think it helps make a better show with a crowded venue.

This Saturday the Zig's Jazz Trio returns. From 6:15 PM until 7:45 PM enjoy our house jazz band while you eat dinner before the Comedy Zone show that starts at 8 PM. This is the best compliment to you and the comedy we could come up with. Come in and appreciate the ambiance it creates. We are trying to do more of this for you. Let us know what you think either through the report cards or through this email. On the report cards, THANK YOU AGAIN. They are a vital line of communication with our guests which we take very seriously.
I look forward to seeing them every night after the show. We share them with the whole staff, we want your feedback because it helps us improve what we do.

So we have Mike Stork coming this weekend with the Jazz trio on Saturday. No NFL this weekend and then the following week, Super Bowl on Sunday evening. Does anyone think it might set the least viewed Super Bowl record? Indiana playing Chicago brings back memories of the original Mike. All I Know is Reggie Miller could shoot the ball as well as anyone ever. Too bad he never won, so that brings us back to Peyton. After pulling the biggest comeback in a championship game, will he blow it or will he tear the Bear's defense up? I am just messing with my Colt fans with the NBA talk, who's coming to the Super Bowl? This is your game!

Thanks for reading about Zig's and our lives and we look forward to seeing you soon at the show.
Tom and all the staff
