Oh goodness this thread DOES just zip along, doesn't it?
Circumstances have kept me away for a few days, not the least of which
was the New York City gig Friday night, but it's reassuring to know
that I can count on coming back and wincing my way amongst all the
dear, familiar smut (Brinky, truly you know I love you to pieces, and
hope your chemicals are being more merciful to you at the moment - God,
it's a pity how you suffer!).
I'm bad; I haven't read all of what I've missed yet, but have only come
back to "catch up" a little by reading the last page, and so I see some
of the talk must have turned to the elder Mr. Cullum, with whom I had
the pleasure to chat briefly after the show (and if you're reading
this, it was terrific to meet you!). Those Cullum men sure know
how to charm a gal, don't they (and that includes Ben, too)?
Hmmm. I'm not entirely sure I'd trust any of them as far as I
could throw them, though...[

Yes, it was great to meet Jamie's Dad. (But perhaps not so great
to be smacked in the face once again - as if I didn't know this
already! - with the unhappy realization that I am a far, far closer
contemporary of Jamie's cool Dad than I am of Jamie sweetie himself...[

And I see that that in my absence Lady Day has finally graced us with
her exquistely acidic presence. There goes the neighborhood.
