Excellent reading material provided by Professor Dan. He was right when he said you can replace every sentence that contains "comedians should..." with "performing songwriters should...". We're in the same line of work. Explanatory blog post on this to follow once I finish the whole book.
Tomorrow it's breakfast with my Life Guru, meeting up with J, and then ROADTRIP!!! to Taos with Jamie, my cohort from the dorm days in college and ever since. Very excited. More blogs to come.
Sleep time.
