Comedy Triptych

Ok, so we’ve had a lot of meditating and soul searching recently. Now it’s time for a few laughs. In England there are a few classic comedy sketches that I think are worth sharing.

I could never stay away forever…

Week 18: In which our hero makes some significant advances towards a Brand New Life (or, Movies, mash and meditation)
