Paperback. Condition: Good. Two months pregnant with their third child, Matt's wife, Lisa, discovers her cancer had returned. A few months later, Lisa's mother finds out her cancer resurfaced as well. Wife, mother-in-law, and baby are all in danger. Yes, and. is a true story based on a journal Matt kept during a nine-month period to help understand life-changing events surrounding them. The journal becomes an up-close and personal account of what friends and family said they couldn't even imagine - two sick women and a baby on the way, difficult decisions, fights, victories, self-doubt, raising two kids, and the realization that life was in constant transition.

This journey forever shapes the person/husband/father he'd become.…

Signed by Austin [Tichenor] and Matt [Rippy] The Reduced Shakespeare Company is a three-man comedy troupe that takes long, serious subjects and reduces them to short, sharp comedies. The Bad Boys of Abridgement have created seven stage shows, two television specials, several failed TV pilots, and numerous radio pieces all of which have been performed, seen, and heard the world over. Since its 1981 origins as a pass-the-hat act in California, the Reduced Shakespeare Company has created seven stage shows, two television specials, several failed TV pilots, and numerous radio pieces all of which have been performed, seen, and heard the world over. The company s itinerary has included stops at the White House, the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, London s West End, Seattle Repertory Theatre, American Repertory Theatre and Montreal s Just For Laughs Festival, as well as performances in Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Malta, Belgium, The Netherlands, Singapore and Bermuda plus countless civic and university venues throughout the USA, Great Britain and Ireland. The company s first three shows, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), The Complete History of America (abridged) and The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged) ran for nine years at the Criterion Theatre in Piccadilly Circus. They were London s longest-running comedies, and the RSC had more shows running in the West End than Andrew Lloyd Webber. They were also funnier. The Bad Boys of Abridgment unveiled a brand-new show in 2010: The Complete World of Sports (abridged), which reduces every sport ever played on every continent in the entire history of the world. It s got balls.

They also applied their fast, funny and physical approach to World History in Western Civilization: The Complete Musical (abridged) [original title: The Complete Millennium Musical (abridged)], which toured simultaneously in the US, UK and Australia, and the Movies in Completely Hollywood (abridged), which skewers the 197 greatest films of all time and has received critical acclaim across the US, UK, Belgium, Holland, Hong Kong, and Barbados. For television, the RSC compressed the first five seasons of Lost into a ten-minute film called Lost Reduced, and was a Jeopardy! category in the 2005 and 2006 Tournaments of Champions. They wrote and starred in The Ring Reduced, a half-hour version of Wagner s Ring Cycle for Channel 4 (UK), and reduced the Edinburgh Festival for BBC and the soap opera Glenroe for RTE Ireland. Shakespeare (abridged) aired on PBS and is available on DVD, as is America (abridged). Numerous other TV appearances include NBC s Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, Entertainment Tonight, CNN s Showbiz This Week, and New Zealand s Celebrity Wheel of Fortune (they lost). For National Public Radio, the RSC has been heard on All Things Considered, Weekend Edition, Talk of the Nation, Day to Day, West Coast Live, and To The Best of Our Knowledge.
