That first time was crazy, but to have the opportunity to have the feeling all over again — wonderful, man! And I said, ‘I want to (tour) again.’ That was the end” of any doubts. He admits to grave doubts during his long convalescence and ther- apy. “I remember being visited by a good friend I’ve known all my life, and I said, ‘Why did God let this happen to me?’ And with the meanest look, she said, ‘Never question God!’ “I said, ‘I’m sorry.’ And she said, ‘OK, baby. That’s all right.’ “Tough times don’t last. Tough people do,” Morgan sums up. “We’re ALL here ‘cause we’re tough.” Morgan, 47, has made amusing use of a life- time of tough challeng- es, including a harsh childhood and health is- sues that included a kid- ney transplant in 2010. So it’s no surprise that he’s dressing his latest wounds in humor. “The accident was a setback, but, you know, in my world, a setback is a setup,” he says. “You use things that happen in your life that weren’t funny — tragedy turned inside out. If you don’t laugh about it, you’ll cry about it. And I’m tired of crying. “But comedy doesn’t just come from pain,” Morgan adds. “It comes from joy, too.” Chief among his joys are his wife and their 2 1/2-year-old daughter, who, as Morgan speaks, can be heard chiming in with, “Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse,” as she addresses Mickey’s im- age on her iPad. “Now you see what’s important and what’s not,” declares Morgan. “I’ve learned a lot, man. I learned about life, about the things I used to stress out about, things we worry about on a day-to-day basis but aren’t important — not when it comes down to life and death. I talk about all that onstage. “But I talk about things that are happening right SUB-BIDS REQUESTED Oregon Zoo Education Center Bid Package #4-DESIGN-BUILD IN- TERPRETATIVE & EXHIBIT SCOPES Bids Due: 2:00 pm local time, Thursday, February 11, 2016 INVITATION TO BID: Lump sum BIDS will be received from interested subcontractors at the office of FORTIS Construction, Inc., the Construction Manager/General Contractor, at 1705 SW Taylor, #200, Portland, Ore- gon 97205 for the turnkey design and construction of Interpretative and Exhibit scopes.

I look back. But I look forward, too!” One thing he’s looking forward to is a pilot deal for a prospective series that he would star in. To be developed in partner- ship with Jordan Peele (“Key & Peele”), the new FX comedy would cast Morgan as a career criminal released from prison after 15 years who finds himself flum- moxed by the modern world he’s re-entering. It could begin produc- tion as soon as this sum- mer. But Morgan says little beyond “it’s gonna be incredible.” His cur- rent focus is on his tour. “I’ve tapped into some- thing, man, that nobody else can talk about,” he says of his near-death experience. “I went to the oth- er side and came back bearing gifts, and I’m gonna share all those gifts with my fans. I got a whole bag full of fun- ny for you, a truckload of funny coming your way.” Frazier Moore is a na- tional television colum- nist for The Associated Press.
