Elvis

The colonel was distinctive for having one client only as a manager before he met Elvis. This excerpt relates the time when Parker was managing Eddy Arnold, about how elaborate and exhaustive he was in drumming up interest and business for his client, going far beyond what managers generally did for their clients. In this little dialogue, Arnold is teasing him a little about going ahead and doing something for himself.

“Tom, why don’t you get yourself a hobby?” he once asked Parker.

Tom Parker looked at him, dragged heavily on a cigar, and answered, “Eddy, you’re my hobby.”

I really enjoyed this 'fall back' hour and caught up on my sleep.

Sunday afternoon

It sooo looks like it wants to rain, so overcast is it. There's nothing in the forecast, though, not even a 10% chance. Of course, we are just coming off that horrible storm a couple of nights ago. We'll just have to play it by ear.

Doctorow

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. You can get away with an awful lot. One of my children once said—it was a terrible truth, too, and, of course, it had to be a young child who said this—“Dad is always hiding in his book.”

-- E. L. Doctorow
