Places, Please!: Becoming A Jersey Boy - Plot & Excerpts
Becoming a Jersey Boy PREPARING TO LEAVETO-DO LISTS, DRAMATURGICAL LECTURES, & DANGEROUS BUTTERFLIES April 27, 2009 The phone rings this morning at 9:40 a.m. It’s Meg; I answer it as calmly as I can manage. Cara just about jumps out of her pants when the phone rings; and it is hard to focus when your hot wife is jumping out of her pants. But Meg just wants to check in and see how the audition went. I tell her it went well enough, and leave the details for her to read about if this book ever gets published.At 10:30 a.m., the phone rings again. I sit down on the couch before answering, knowing this has to be news—good or bad. Before even saying hello, Meg whispers, “Dan, you got it.”I got it.I actually got it.Cara crawls onto the couch next to me and is hardly controlling herself. I say, “Oh. My. God.” Cara jumps up with a squeal, and I start thinking of all the million-and-a-half things I now need to do. Why can’t I just live in the moment like our therapist (yes, our therapist) says I should?The first thing Meg tells me is that I should send Merri Sugarman a nice bouquet of flowers.
