Tuesday Morning

I have dozens of things to do today in preparation for that…that thing that's taking place in San Diego the rest of this week. It sure would help me do most of them if I had electricity.

It went out last night. Actually, it went out and it came back on and it went out and it came back on and it went out and it came back on and it went out and it came back on and after a few more times going out and coming back on, it decided it liked "out" best and has stayed that way 'til now…since about 10 PM last night. If I look stupider than usual at the convention, just remember I may have packed in the dark.

Hey, those of you who live in or near the Los Angeles area may be spending money by the time you finish reading this. Saturday night, August 3, the one/only Dick Van Dyke is making one of his too-too rare live appearances. This time, he's back at the Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood. I don't know exactly what he's going to do there but they have a stage and Dick Van Dyke will be on it. How can that not be a wonderful evening?

I just bought my tickets. You can buy yours here. And I'll tell you how magical it is when Dick Van Dyke performs. In the midst of writing the above paragraph on my iPhone, my power came back on and I'm finishing this message on my regular, plugged-into-the-wall computer. Honest. Thank you, Dick!
