HOT WATER

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, I must write these here notes quickly for she of the Evil Eye will be here soon. Of course, she won’t be staying because nothing is working, hence she cannot do laundry, she cannot do a proper cleaning and there’s no point. So, we’ll have her back in two weeks when there will be something for her to do. Last night we had a splendidly splendid show – just about a full house – and an audience that was savvy and very vocal from the beginning to the end. The new song landed again, so in it stays. It’s so nice to hear Tammy get a really big hand, which she never really got with the previous song. Dear reader Michael Shayne was there with a friend, and I knew several others, too. After the show, Jose, Michael, Michael’s friend, and cast member Paul Haber all headed over to Musso and Frank, where we had a lovely post-show supper. We were joined by dear reader Panni, who wanted to meet dear reader Michael. Michael’s friend surprised us all and picked up the check, which was very very gracious and sweet of him. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too?

Well, I shall be without hot water for at least five more days – most annoying. So, it’s a daily visit to the gym for me. At least I am getting buff and toned with abs and buns of steel. Say, has anyone noticed that it’s Labor Day Weekend? What are you all doing? I shall be doing no Labor except seeing the show tonight. I think we shall have a lovely celebration all the live-long weekend, so don’t miss one single second of it.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because I am already late in getting the notes up.

Have I mentioned that I shall be sans hot water for at least five more days? Actually, it will probably be even longer than that, but I’ll know everything on Tuesday, when we have a big morning meeting with The Mold People, The Plumber and the Termite Man. That sounds like one of those hybrid Universal horror movies, doesn’t it? However, none of Universal’s horror movies could top the horror that is my master bathroom. I’ve been told it looks like the blitz (I refuse to even look at what they’ve done). Damn them, damn them all to hell.

No hot water. I love hot water. I need hot water. And yet, I only have cold water. Not even tepid water, just really really cold water. Ah, well, we shall persevere.

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must go to the gym, I must shower, I must use the exercise bike, I must relax and I must continue doing the final proofing of the new book, all without hot water. Today’s topic of discussion: What is the most annoying and disruptive thing that has ever happened in your home environment, and how did you deal with it? Let’s have loads of lovely postings, shall we? We shall.
