That's so sad about the actor who died in his sleep.  My condolences. :(

I slept rather well for the first time in days, so I'm very pleased about that. What wasn't so pleasing was Annabelle's decision to throw up a hairball next to where I lay. Yuck.

My new air conditioner arrives this morning, so I need to clear some space around the old one for easy access. Groceries and organization, that's my morning.

I spent some time yesterday thinking about the A & T audiobook. Rather than have someone read it, I'd prefer to do it as a radio drama with a cast of actors since so much of it is dialogue. I've had some casting thoughts, but I'm keeping mum since I have no idea what the publisher is thinking.

Today would have been John McGlinn's 70th birthday. He was a pain in the ass, a bit of a fraud, a constant irritation, and a dear friend. Life was never dull when working with him, and I was privileged to work on his best recording, the 1988 EMI SHOW BOAT. Take a moment to listen to something he recorded. My favorite remains "Barney O'Flynn, from John's unreleased complete recording of BABES IN TOYLAND.

Here's my wonderful sister-in-law JoAnn with her two sons, my nephews Matt and Tim, Matt's wife and baby (I've only met her once and I cannot remember her name!), and Tim's children, Jayden and Riley. I haven't seen any of them since 2017!
