Made almost unbelievable progress in getting the last details of the major part of the book done. In the last two days, people have taken the time to talk with me and they have been helpful, funny, quotable and even educational. Each place that gets checked off the list feels like an answered prayer.

wonderful news

Re "detritus" -

I have no idea what made me do a parody to tune of "Always True to You in My Fashion" to this NYT story about detritus floating on the river, but for better or worse, here it is

Another long, long day of rehearsal.  Finally finished around four.  I've been adding to chapter one on and off and have probably written two pages overall.  I'll move on to chapter two later, but this book is not going to write itself as quickly as my others, mostly due to the schedule this month, which is just insane.  Last year at this time, other than the Kritzerland shows, I had nothing but writing on my plate.  Once we pass the benefit, though, time gets easier until the end of the month, so I'll probably catch up during that two weeks.  My intention is to write as much as I can over the next two weeks, but I have to do it as time permits.

Then I had a cup of chicken soup and some bacon and eggs and toast and no potatoes.  Picked up no packages.  And have been writing since.  I will now take an hour break, get my head together, and then continue writing at least another two to five pages in chapter two.

I do believe I've managed to get almost all the leading players at least mentioned in chapter one, save for someone who's introduced in chapter two.  As always, I'm having the most fun naming everyone, especially in this particular book.

Hey, Tom,

I'll be over as soon as I get a car. After our trip to and back from Minnesota with the stops in Wisconsin I don't think Anthony is up for driving and I don't have a vehicle. If I stop in Iowa, I'll bring Cilla with me since she has a Roku and she can make sure I'm doing it correctly while we munch on veggie pizza.

We watched

Variety Girl

It's a 1947 Paramount all star bonanza. Some of it is funny but it's 90 minutes and it's too long by about 30 and some of it's pretty bad. Anthony liked it much more than I.

With the new television and antenna we now get Channel 50 which is a NJ public television station. We get Channel 13, the NY PBS but we don't get Channel 21, the signal isn't strong enough. Anthony is watching a Midsomer Murders right now on Channel 50. It's nice to get 2 different PBS stations. I wish Channel 21 would boost their signal. They are about 45 miles away. If we had a roof antenna we could probably get the station but it's not our building so I can't put an antenna on the roof.

The post office was open. I got a magazine, FANFARE, and a book, JANE AUSTEN'S ENGLAND.

DR Ginny, you recommended QUENTINS after my restaurant opera composing dream, and I've been reading it for about a week now.  It's quite wonderful.

channel 21 is about 10 miles from here  in our preVixter days  Vixdad and I used to work their begathans for them answering phones and such like I also did a couple of late night live on air spots  ( I was terrible)

because of this I was also asked to take part in  BBC documentary about Americans watching Are You Being Served 


That's also how we got to meet John Inman and how he came to ask for my autograph  :)
