@LawrenceBlock Well how lovely of you, thank you! I’ll do my best.

In hospital today for an unexpected procedure. I’ll need to lie still for 4 hours after while they monitor me. As long as no one tries to take the @LawrenceBlock loaded Kindle away from me, I’m sure my blood pressure will be stable.

Chalk one up for The Wisdom of the Ages. I have increasingly become aware of the importance of monotasking.

Just did a cartoon where the character’s voice cracks horribly while singing & loses her voice. So I rehearsed that bit at home

Whenever I sang, my dog La Lo ran hither & thither...
When my voice cracked my dog Scudder barked

Told my fella & he said “everyone’s a critic”.

While you and I have lips and voices which / are for kissing and to sing with / who cares if some oneeyed son of a bitch / invents an instrument to measure spring with? https://t.co/6LQt4tQyS0

I only just read that the great Seymour Cassel passed away April 7. What a loss. Do yourself a favor and watch him in Cassavetes’ films, as well as #InTheSoup, #Rushmore, and #TheRoyalTenenbaums #SemourCassel #JohnCassavetes
