"He who has the last laugh laughs best."

Dinner Wednesday evening with Melissa (my friend & publicist) was great. She's such a funny, strong woman — and such a success story herself. Thusday was opening night of Sweetest Guy in the World's opera Falstaff so I decided to surprise him and show-up, even though I was, and still gladly am, scheduled to attend Friday's (today) evening performance. I wasn't familiar with the story of Falstaff, but it was great. Enchanting third act. SGW was great as Pistola. Tonight, as mentioned, I return to the Gartner Inn, but this time with friend and fellow writer Barry Floore of QueerCincinnati.com fame in tow. Finally, I just read that when you're on a flight and there is a large smelly person next to you, you should ask for an upgrade.
