    Hey Michael,
    Thanks for finding me..are you my long lost brother? From NJ ( you got Ewing, I got Jersey City)Jewish,Aquarius and into comedy. Coincidence? I think not. If you're ever up my way here in CT come visit your big sis. I'm a hoot on stage and I promise I won't talk about our family.
