Anyway, despite being extremely burned out, I'm gonna return to working here alone at home, but at some point later today I'll hafta deal with bosses about this week's nonsense.

You know, I quit gambling decades ago, but odds are pretty good that they won't like my response!

prior to when reservations for my beach house had to be made, so I really didn't have any desire to go to the beach at the time, and honestly I'm not sure I'll ever have any desire to return, but this year would've been a working vacation anyway, so it had even less appeal.

a few hours of work, of one kind or another, that had to be attended to on each of all the other days - including on New Year's Day, and Memorial Day, and (ironically) on Independence Day.

I never scheduled a vacation this year since I'd learned of my dear friend's death just

Epilogue:

So grateful was Liberace for St. Francis hospital saving his life, he made himself available for hospital fundraisers - gratitude which they reciprocated in a ceremony dedicating the "Liberace Lobby", which remained as such until the hospital's demolition in 2002.

It took 3 weeks for him to recover well enough to travel back home to recuperate, but dialysis saved Liberace's life - a life that might very well have never been endangered in the first place if not for an assassin who was all too successful in killing his intended target.

6/

"feeling ill" is really underselling it, because he suffered kidney failure to the point that a priest had administered last rites, but, fortunately for Liberace, the relatively new technique of dialysis was available to him in St. Francis hospital, where he received care.

5/

At some point he decided to do something useful, so he started cleaning his costumes (used for his various costume changes throughout his performance) with cleaning fluid - in a room with closed windows due to the late November chill outdoors, which led to him to feeling ill.

4/

However, on that fateful day when JFK was assassinated, that evening's scheduled performance was, of course, canceled - and Liberace gave his entire staff the night off to mourn.

So there he was, Liberace alone in his room at the Holiday House with nothing to do that night.

This is about when Lee almost killed Lee - not himself, of course, just another who went by that name: Liberace.

At the time, Liberace had been booked to perform two weeks of shows at a famous nightclub in the greater Pittsburgh region: the Holiday House in Monroeville, PA.
