    That's about the third time I've heard that in the last month. Guess so?

    BTW...the smiles are genuine. I really enjoyed the day. Guess it shows.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    And walk up 5 flights of stairs barefoot to get to the studio, and up 5 flights of stairs barfoot to get back down to the lobby?

    Thanks for the pix. I'd love to go there some day, but it's a long walk from the desert.

    BTW Get a haircut.
