UNNATURAL AND INTRUSIVE TO MY INNER BEING

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, you won’t believe it. I didn’t believe it and yet here I am at five-fifteen in the morning, dashing off these here notes because I must be at work by six to address yet more notes on the piece I’ve been working on, because it must be sent out by the end of the day tomorrow. I suppose I’ll get to leave at four – if not, I may take most of Friday off. I shall be zonked, but I shall stand tall and be of good cheer.

I loved all your excellent questions and I shall endeavor to have excellent answers for you on Saturday. May I just say that I do not like being up this early? I find being up this early unnatural and intrusive to my inner being. I mean, who can think at such an hour? And yet, here I am, typing away madly so that I can vamoose and go to work, where I will have to think at such an hour.

The good news is that there most likely will be little or no traffic at this unnatural and intrusive hour of the morning. One at least can take solace in that.

Well, I’m afraid we must all click on the Unseemly Button below because frankly or even harveyly, everything is feeling slightly unnatural and intrusive to my inner being.

All right, dear readers, this all feeling very unnatural and intrusive, this early hour is. I am trying to be pithy and witty and gay, but all that’s coming out are words, words, and more words. Words without thought, words without meaning, words for the sake of words. There but for words go I.

I was going to tell you an interesting classmates.com story today, but I fear it shall have to wait until tomorrow, when I am not rushing out the door at an unseemly hour.

Well, you’ve got to hand it to me – at least these paragraphs are short and easy to read. You’ve got to hand it to me or perhaps you have to foot it to me or even elbow it to me – I am writing short paragraphs which get the job done. I don’t know what job they’re getting done, these short paragraphs, but whatever job it is they are getting it done.

Well, dear readers, I can no longer babble on in Babylon. I must take the day, I must do the things I do even if I’m doing them at an unnatural and intrusive hour. Today’s topic of discussion: On the occasion of our very own Brent Barrett’s upcoming release of The Alan Jay Lerner album – what are your favorite Alan Jay Lerner songs, with any collaborator? Have we done that one before? Who remembers, especially at this hour? Even if we have, we’re doing it again. And, of course, you may discuss whatever topics are floating around in your collective heads. Post away, my pretties, and please everyone, we’ve got to have a stunningly large amount of posts today, because I will need to be energized all during the day – so, do it for the Gipper, won’t you?
