Dateline: Paramount Hotel, Manhattan, 29 April
Up early on six hours. Couldn’t catch Dennis Miller’s second showing in my hotel last night because CNBC wasn’t on their line-up. Bit of disappointment, but spouse says kids enjoyed watching me, and since I know Miller himself was happy with the results, I’ll just move along and watch the tape at some later date.
Shuttle up to NYC on Delta. Scan the papers en route. Blogging the following stories from the lounge at Paramount, which is so very Sex and the City with the pulsing soundtrack and Frank Gehry-like lobby that I pretty much expect to be picked up by Samantha at any moment.
Have to get to a landline to tape a regional radio “round table” show at 1:30, so I’ll keep these references brief.
Amazon had book at 63 at midnight last night. My brother Jerry said it was 42 this morning. Progress on all fronts.
Here’s today's catch:
