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.
I've been reading Publius Syrus because...well, why not? I was struck by an early entry which - quite rightly, I believe - pretty much says all there is to say about the value multi-tasking To wit: "To to do two things at once is to do neither."

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

I believe I last received a $1.35 CDN residual for a film I did about 15 years ago. (Of course with the exchange that’s probably equal to £0.04p...)
I've just received the smallest fee of my life And it wasn't from the BBC !! It was £0.04p - a residual for an appearance on The Stephen Colbert Show
