I'm feeling better today, although the cough remains - no coughing jags - but it's there and the gunk is still in my chest a bit. I think by tomorrow I'll be fine.

It was nice to take a drive.

Today my brother and I are attending a memorial service for our former neighbor Randy.

When we moved into this house, Randy and Jeanne had lived in the house across the street for about five years. They had two school age children.

Oldest son Brian grew up and started attending Indiana University. He worked part time as a bouncer in a club in Bloomington. One night there was an altercation and when Brian went to help the doorman, the crazy guy causing trouble shot him and he died.

It was very hard on Randy and Jeanne and they eventually divorced. Jeanne remarried and she and her new husband still live across the street. Her new husband has a son who has some problems and has spent some time in jail. At one point he was appointed a lawyer by the court.....and it was the crazy shooter who had "studied law" in jail and become an attorney. It was quite an ordeal.

So we shall see what we shall see.....

Oh, my goodness! How could he have been allowed to be a lawyer for someone who was related (even just by marriage) to a guy HE shot?? Isn't that a gross conflict of interest??

In 1985, when I was working on Cole Porter's show JUBILEE, we were trying to find recordings of the beautiful June Knight, one of the stars of the 1935 Broadway production. We knew she danced, and she sang "Just One of Those Things" and "Begin the Beguine." I wanted to hear her to set the keys for the reconstruction, but we could find nothing. Well, she did make the film Broadway Melody of 1936, I learned years later, and she had a spectacular number with Robert Taylor and Nick Long Jr., "Ive Got a Feelin' You're Foolin'" and it's really wonderful.

Got some interesting news. Nothing to talk about, though.

Back from the errands.

And may I just say...? It is one hot sticky mofo out there.

Yesterday was glorious. It was like a sunny but very-low-humidity California day.

Today?

HELL.

I am SO glad we're rehearsing inside this evening. There's even an air-conditioner!

And now, back to work. Got a couple of hours before I have to leave.

Enjoyed Directed By very much. I remember when Deceit was BK’s current project, so it took me back to my early HHW days.

Poor Ann has been to the posrt office four times for me this week. I needed to send a copy of the galleys to Modern Cat magazine in Vancouver. I've had it wrapped and ready to go for over a week, but she and Jen were sickl all last week. I askeds Jen if she knew whether or not I needed a customs form for the book and she said she didn't think so.

So, on Friday Ann took it to the post office, and the line was so long, she decided to take it to the post officer by the school where she teaches yesterday. She got to the counter and needed a customs form (envelopes, no; packages, yes), so she breought it home and told me she would bring it to me this morning to fill out.

She didn't stop by this mornming, so I called her. She said she filled it out herself. Then, an hour ago, she stopped by. The customs form needed my signature. I asked, if you filled it out, why didn't you sign it? She said, when the postal clerk asked her if she were Larry Moore, she said no and they threw her out. So, I signed the form and she's gone back.

She and Jen leave for vacation tomorrow, and I will take care of their mail.

Unfortunately, several coughing jags today - I think it's all the gunk that's breaking up - how much gunk can one person have?

Just in from an hour of garden work that nearly did me in. I’m completely wet with sweat.

I did plant a new olive tree and started on some overdue weeding. Everything exploded while I was gone.
