What is with getting sick just a few days before you are set to do something important. As many of you know I am in the middle of a show right now called Veronica's Room. We opened last weekend to rave reviews and are set to close this weekend. This means that this weekend is important because we have to live up to the hype that has been generated by the newspaper review and word of mouth recomendations. So what happens to me 4 days before we are set to close out this show. I come down with a cold and a fever of 102 degrees. Not that I am really feeling it now as the fever has come down and steadied itself at 100 and is sure to start falling at anytime. But it really sucks when this happens. Not because of being sick, although it is not a pleasant experience. It's the uncertainty. Not knowing if you are going to kick it in time to be effective at whatever it is you have planned. And of course to top it all off I still have to go to work. Now some of you may say why not stay home. Well there are two very good reasons. The first is that I would have to give up a hell of a lot of overtime to stay home this week, and that is almost as undesirable as getting sick. The other is that, and my brother Dwight can help me out here, Wade's don't take sick days unless we are really, really sick. I am talking gutter crawling, comode hugging sick. Any way I just needed to vent a little as this situation just blows.
Til' we meet again,
Paul

You still kicked ass, even without the yelling. But it is strange how that seems to happen quite frequently, especially at the theater. You didn't get me sick either, which was quite a surprise considering the smooching and all. Well done!
