Family Night with Nate Tonight

 What happens if your dad is a motivational speaker and a magician?  Well, if your name is Nate Bargatze, you pretty much grow up believing you can work your own magic without any fear of speaking in front of large crowds.  My family will be dodging possible tornados to see Nate in Cedar Rapids tonight.  According to a feature story in The Atlantic, Nate is designated as "The Nicest Man in Stand-Up."  We have seen most of Nate's specials on social media and he is right up there with Jerry Seinfeld, the one Nate says inspired him to move to New York City to pursue comedy.

Some say that the best way to face your fear is to visualize the worst that can happen.  I suppose if a tornado took the four of us out while enroute to see Nate Bargatze tonight, that would be the worst case scenario.  Sorry to the sole beneficiary who may seek a refund for the tickets to see Nate.  "No refunds."  The best case scenario is we laugh together.  The vote is unanimous.  Family road trip begins after our day job shifts are completed.  If I'm not here tomorrow at 8:08 Pacific Time, you know we died laughing.  Have a great day.
