I have been very good today. My Girl Scout cookie order came in and I haven't opened a single box. That's three boxes of Thin Mints.

I haven't seen any Girl Scouts :(

You're a better man than I, Gunga Din.

I thought things were supposed to get less frustrating the older I got!

I sent the pdf of the DuckDynasty W-2 to my accountant yesterday, No word.  So today I sent an email asking if it was okay. His reply: what W-2?  So, I sent it again and there's been no word from him.

A week ago, I paid for an order with Paypal, and i have the Paypal invoice.  Today I sent the vendor an inquiry: what's going on? No response.

I finally heard about the check; ut hasn't been sent yet.

What the fat hell?

I am completely devastated. My "godson" Sam Jones, whose father Tom wrote "the Fantasticks," just contacted me to tell me that his mother Janet has died. I knew she had been in terrible health, and it's been four years since I last saw her. I so loved Janet. She was a wonderful friend.

when I was semi-paralyzed and had neck surgery in December 1999, she lied to the hospital staff and told them she was my sister.  When I woke up in recovery, there she was. Oooih, you look so good," she said. RIP, Sis!

Janet was the mother of Sam and Mike, my unofficial godsons, wife of Tom Jones, and sister of the wonderful Broadway soprano Susan Watson.  She worked a lot as a choreographer and she was always upbeat and positive.  Her illness was really horrifying and she suffered with it for maybe six years. I'm glad she's at peace.

Sam just notified me and invited me to a memoria;l for March 1.  I'll be there.

Janet was in terrible health for the last couple of years - it's probably a blessing for all.

Finished the liner notes for our next release, a cast album that's never been on CD - heard the master today, which sounds great.  So, hopefully I can send in the packaging for approval on Monday and get this announced.

It is sad when people have to suffer like that, especially when they are good people.

Well, I'm not feeling too well (not horrible at all, just a little wonky), so I'm going to go home, take a little nap, and hope that I feel better for tonight's show.  I'm sure I'll be fine, but I just don't want to struggle with it here at work.

Until later.

When The Vixter and former DR WFO and. I went to see The Fantastiks Tom zones was performing the part of the Old Actor.  During intermission we ran into Elmore in the lobby neither of us realized we would be so the same performance .  After the show he kindly introduced us to Mr. Jones who took some time to chat with the then still little Vixter

Made a tentative show order.  Still looking for our guest star - if anyone knows Leslie Uggams, she'd be perfect.

I had a turkey sandwich with no fries or onion rings for lunch, picked up a bunch of mail (hadn't been there is over five days), including my three-pack of Beer Nuts nutmeats - peanuts, cashews, and almonds.  I'm having a little potpourri of them now.  I'll relax for a bit, then start writing the commentary.

I worked with her around 2009 at the Chicago Humanities Festival, but I have no contact info. She was delightful, but I understand her singing's very pitchy these days.
