Back from our very long day. The event couldn't have gone better. The kids loved Richard and we had a lot of fun bantering back and forth. Susan Egan and Bret Shuford sang wonderfully, Richard Allen was at the piano, and my two songs went well. We had a few questions from the audience, too. Trying to get to the Sherman's house was a nightmare - with Coldwater backed all the way a mile south of Mulholland. It took thirty minutes just to get to Mulholland and then that was jammed on the jog over to Coldwater south and THAT was jammed. I thought I wasn't going to make it. Very upsetting. At a time of day when there should have been no traffic. But as soon as I got on Coldwater south I saw the sign that said "work ahead" so it was one of those hideous things where they hold one side's traffic and let the other side go, and then vice versa. As we finally got down to that "work" (looked like a cable company in the electric line above), I rolled down my window and let the guy holding the sign have an earful - how DARE them do this - they could have easily NOT done it by just moving a few feet more to the sidewalk. These morons have no idea of the trouble they cause and they don't care. From there it was easy and I actually arrived on time, but what a ridiculous drive.
