Good morning. Gee, I don't think I've ever been first after BK.

Why up so late?

I have a Pixar movie, Luca, and a French flick, La Piscine, to watch this weekend. Could not be more dissimilar.

DR Jane re: mixing vaccines. The issues here now are that some countries are not recognizing either 2 Astrazenecas or a mix.

I am pleased to announce that my one-person play, "JACK CARTER: Comedian," is now available in paperback and Kindle editions via Amazon.

Jack Carter was "the comedian's comedian; a machine gun of comedy”.

He was also my publicity client for 7 years.

 Launching his career on radio's "Major Bowes Amateur Hour," he later became the first host of Dumont's Saturday night television variety series, "Cavalcade of Stars" in 1949-50, the went to NBC to star in "The Jack Carter Show".

 Over the years, he appeared on Broadway (e.g. Mr. Wonderful with Sammy Davis Jr.), in nightclubs around the country, and made multiple appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show," plus variety programs hosted by Milton Berle, Martin & Lewis, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Andy Williams, Dinah Shore, Jimmy Durante and others.

The play joins the entertainer in 2011, two years after he was crippled in an auto accident. He talks about his life, his career, and his many frustrations and regrets.

So tired of being stuck in the house.

Except for doctor appointments and going to get the mail, I haven't been out for well over a year.

That is difficult.

That's hard if you want to travel. I looked it up and hopefully it will soon be sorted out.

I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep or thereabouts.

I have written a play, Mr. Jaffe...

I did indeed mean "fun." I like everyone I'm dealing with and I like what I do. It's the small irritations that get to me. I'm only doing one number, aboutr 80 bars of music, but it's for a full orchestra: double woodwinds, 4 horns, 3 trpts, 3 trombones, tuba, percussion, guitar, harp, piano, strings.
