Sisters


SISTERS

Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every - "great man."
There had to be a - "great woman."
But in these times of change you know
That it's no longer true.
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you (we say)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standing on their own two feet.
And ringing on their own bells.
Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state!
Mothers - daughters and their daughters too.
Woman to woman
We're singing with you.
The "inferior sex" got a new exterior
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too.
Everybody - take a look around.
Can you see - can you see - can you see
There's a woman right next to you.

For some reason, I felt the need to summon up my inner bitch today.

Work...is work. Although it has been very busy. Nothing like the daily grind to drag you down.

I finished working my routine for Saturday. I'll rehearse it Friday and Saturday morning. I've scheduled 6 auditions for comedy clubs in the Chicago area this weekend, so we'll see where it leads me.

Called Joe and thanked him again for getting me this gig. I guess if I'm coming out of retirement, I should do it in another city where it just feels safer. That way when I bomb...nobody knows me. He's looking to work some new plays and want's to know how mine is coming. I can feel the heartburn starting. I'm nowhere near being ready to have this play produced. I still need to finish it, and I'd rather have it workshopped a bit first. I'm been feeling out friends to see who might be willing to read and be brutal.

Jim came over last night. He's all excited about closing on his new house. He's been looking all summer, so this is definitely a closing of a chapter on his life. His parents aren't too thrilled, but he is the baby and his buying a home is making them older.
