I'm happy that Pen Farthing and his animals are boarded onto a cargo plane and ready to leave Kabul. I am so sorry that the Taliban would not let his Afghanistan staff leave as well, and I pray to God they will be safe in Kabul.
I love these photos of Mark Twain and his kittens.

Former DR Jose came up to stay with me and bought his new Smart Phone. To add insult to injury, my idiot doctor never answered his phone to the many calls the ER doctors made to him that night. I still believe the HMO finally sacked the bastard.Richard and I were in town when this happened and were pleased that a day or 2 later you felt up to dinner at Artie’s:

You may remember that several weeks ago I asked for vibes for my dear friend Peter Foley. The cancer got him, and he died yesterday morning at 8:30. I was lucky to know and love him for twenty years. We met in Spring 2001 at the new Packard Humanities Institute office on East 72nd Street when we were summoned by John McGlinn to explain the project. He worked as one of my music copyists through the PHI days and was indispensable to me during the period 2011-2013 on recording Roberta, Eileen, and Dearest Enemy. He then assisted me on several small projects, the last being the dreadfully inept Carnegie Hall Babes in Toyland concert two or threee years ago. I will miss him.He was a wonderful husband and father to Kate and Grace, and my heart bleeds for them.
Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance day for those of us who have lost an animal we loved and miss.
I'm up, I'm up - was up at seven after three hours of sleep, back in bed at nine, so maybe I got seven hours of sleep. I don't think the Hollywood Show will be happening for me today. And now I'm dealing with a musical director who says he now can't do the anniversary show - his main gig is the Magic Castle. He gave them this date that he needed off weeks ago. And they booked him anyway. I told him he had to talk to them and make this right, but he just keeps saying they'll fire him, which they cannot. He's done this before - in fact, I had to rearrange the Group Rep show four times for him. Can't do it for this one, it's way too late in the game to find someone else, and I'm trying to hold in my annoyance right now because if I unleash and go to bad BK land HE will be as unhappy as I am.
