Kenny & I will attend the

Very sorry that Roger

won't be there

Damn it, me too. St. Louis was last night, and I was first asked to be there, right on the heels of being in New York City on the 20th. They firmed up that gathering, and I did not have to hustle back for another flight. Sarasota is the one I wanted to make, especially it being at the Asolo, but PBS and "American Experience" had long since booked their Q&A panel, and nobody needed this washed-up cagehand no more.

More than that, Kenny will be reprising his heel catch there tonight, and that's what I wanted to see.

Glad you had a chance to wash up

NY is pretty grimy these days

Roger Smith said...

My cab brought me into town from JFK, and we crossed on the Queensboro Bridge. Those hundreds of drab high-rise apartment complexes on either side of the East River where not there when I first explored the City, in '74. They are brown and depressing and a terrible detriment to the visuals of urban living, but clearly have to be there for population demands. Grimy is a good description of what people there have no choice but to deal with.
