How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

My Other Vehicle is the Mahayana

Although word on the street is that the King looked very kingly, and the Queen looked beautiful in her Tiara, no royal markings were etched during our man's brief audience with the Majesties and Excellencies. Alas. Not for lack of karmic efforts, though. And I did slip into work yesterday morning to an email from Anna and a touching little photo of young Ms. Tyra. So in a sense, the occasion did succeed in our getting back in touch and perhaps that was meant as its overall point.

Still would have been absurd to get the signature. Oh well. Let's hope I fare better with Yogi Berra. All of a sudden I find myself brimming with excitement for the planned excursion next weekend to Broadway, MSG, and an old friend's marriage in Tarrytown. Open bar, baby.
