Yes, Peter is in the hospital. No, we are not entirely sure why.

Hi there, remember me? I’m Kathleen, Peter’s wife. You may remember hearing from me almost 4 years ago after Peter had a stroke.
Well this time it is not a stroke or a heart attack. Right now we are eliminating things rather than getting a diagnosis because every time we think we know what is going on, we get another curve that sets us back to figuring out what is going on.
What we do know that Peter is in the hospital with severe leg weakness. He can’t walk and even standing is dicey.
This all started this past Saturday when he had to go to the hospital because he could not stand on his left foot due to ankle pain. It was diagnosed as a sprain. It was wrapped up and he was sent home with crutches.
Sunday he could barely move and standing was agony for him.
Monday he couldn’t even stand and that’s when he went back to the hospital where he has been the past couple of days where the Doctors are doing their best House impressions trying to figure out what is going on.
Currently we do not know when he will be back home.
He did point out that at least this time he had the good grace of collapse at home rather than out on the road like last time. His sense of humor is unaffected.
He said for me to remind you that you can still purchase his books in time for Christmas. There is a new Apropos novel available among other things. Personally I am still a fan of Fearless.
So I will be updating as I know things. I am getting some serious flashbacks to four years ago but this time there is no stroke just a mystery that really needs to be solved.
Caroline is holding up and dealing with what is happening and what will not be happening this Christmas which will be the first one I have not spent with my parents in my lifetime and her first without spending it at her grandparents. We have plans for the day to make it Christmas for us. We are hoping that Peter will be home by that point but it is not looking too likely.
So think good thoughts for Peter. He could really use them as could we.

I am in Desperate Trouble

I was going to post this tomorrow but then realized people might think it’s an April Fool’s joke, so I’m doing it today.

Pretty much everyone has private things that have happened to them that they don’t want to discuss publicly. Well…this is mine.

Many years ago I had a television series on the air called “Space Cases.” And I made a lot of money that year. I mean a lot. And I had a ton of money sitting in my bank account ready to send to the IRS on April 15th. It was all good.

And then the day that I was going to send the check, I swung by the nearest ATM to withdraw some cash and was astounded to see that half the money in my account was gone. Why was it gone? Because my then wife withdrew it in order to pay for a divorce lawyer, which was how I found out my marriage was dissolving. So the money never went to the IRS because I had to use the remainder to hire my own attorney.

Over the years, I never managed to land another project that would pay me that much. I had lots of people make promises–I even did the work for some of them–and none ever came up with the money. Meanwhile I tried to make payment arrangements with the IRS but they didn’t last, because throughout the year I’d send in the payments but then on April 15 I had no money to pay the income tax because I’d already sent them all my spare money.

Then they seemed to just forget about it. Which was great.

Except recently they now seem to have remembered. And they want all the money, plus penalty and interest, or they are going to financially destroy me.

How much? $88,000.

So I’m asking you guys.

I’d love to say that we want the money because we want to repair the house, which is in desperate need, but that’s not the case. Every cent is going straight to the government.

Is it possible? Well, I have 5000 Facebook followers. If they each sent $10, that would get me halfway. I have over 13,000 Twitter followers. If they each sent $10, I’d be in the clear with money to pay any taxes due on the new income. Any additional monies will be used to pay debts accrued while paying the IRS what income I had.

Do you want to get something for the money? Fine: Send a check to my PO Box, PO Box 951, Bayport, NY 11705 along with books of mine and a SASE and I’ll sign them and send them back. That’s something, I guess.

I’m sure that there are people out there who will be overjoyed that I’m having financial difficulties, but I’m hoping the rest of you will not judge me too harshly and help me out.

Es un garrón tremendo lo que le está pasando, pero eso de pedir guita a los fans por facebook para garpar impuestos porque se fue toda la guita en un divorcio es muy choto también. Que se la vaya a pedir a sus colegas, o que organicen alguna cosa para juntar guita entre varios.
