Dear blogosphere,Please excuse Mike's absence from blogging these past few days. Or should that be last two days? He never knows, as two of his editors have each insisted on a different rule throughout his career. See, one thought "last" was too doom and gloom, indicating while that there wouldn't be any more days following, while the other thought "past" was too vague, as any day in history is technically a "past" day and therefore does not necessarily refer to the two days immediately preceding today.
But I digress. My poor son has been very, very ill with a disease known as work overload. He's doing one of his major projects for the year at the office, which entails trying to wrest sometimes confidential business information from about five dozen hotel companies and owners. Some of them have been much nicer about it than others, but he prefers not to name names. He also has to throw together a data-rich story of about 3,000 words at the same time and will be doing that most of this weekend.
At the same time, he's preparing for his Monday concert so he doesn't have to mouth "watermelon" during the patter-ish "Imaginary Guy" song. That tricky Lorraine Feather!
He plans to be back in action very soon and will certainly be making up the work he missed during his absence.
Sincerely,
Mike's Mom
p.s. You can probably see the family resemblance in our writing styles!
