Congrats, ChasSmith!

Yesterday, I had a good morning, a nice FaceTime visit with my friend in Ohio, and then the afternoon went to hell. Around 3:30 I was violently ill. This was followed by about ninety minutes of cleanup. I then spent a good hour trying to reschedule my two appointments to next week and cancel today's Access-a-Ride. The cats usually get their treat between 4:30-5:30. I think I gave it to them, especially to Thatch's dismay, around 6:30.

Oh, no!  I hope you're feeling better, Larry!!

Lin-Manuel Miranda is a really generous person, and will even give a nod to lesser-known writers, in much the same way that Stephen Sondheim did. 

Even in responding to online comments in the Times!  This happened ten years ago (Nov. 24 2015).

In my case, I've never met him, but Mr. Miranda saw some of my comments in parody lyric form in the Times reader comments section and encouragingly tweeted
"Freddie the NYTimes commenter is a local treasure."
https://twitter.com/lin_manuel/status/669222699361771520

One of my all-time favorite "reviews" - that tweet even wound up on my parents' fridge in Florida.  My parents weren't all that familiar with Sondheim's work specifically, but they and their friends and neighbors in Florida knew who Mr. Miranda is, and this - along with several books I'd written of my lyrics - added validation with them, and their encouragement  that came from that. 

Writers need encouragement and Mr.Miranda went out of his way to do that.  And in what might be called a meta moment, the New York Times itself even reprinted online Mr. Miranda's generous tweet about my New York Times comments -
towards the bottom of this article https://archive.nytimes.com/artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/06/01/service-advisory-artsbeat-is-finished/index.html

Ten years later, I'm still looking for a breakthrough.  But ten years ago, that generous tweet meant so much!


That's very cool, Freddie!
