Dateline: Delta Shuttle, from Boston to LaGuardia, 4 May
Just more perusing in between appearances.
Comical scene this morning. In my hotel room doing live radio show with Kevin McCarthy down in Dallas. Supposed to go 30, instead goes full 60 because it’s a great conversation. Here’s the problem: maid keeps trying to break in and clean the room. I’m on the phone in bedroom (big suite) and she keeps coming into living room. So to scare her off, I fire pillows into living room and she retreats each time. When the interview ends, I depart the scene leaving a nice tip. She must have thought I was nuts, or having sex, or whatever.
One of advantages of flying shuttle: free mags and newspapers. So I grab a New York Times and Wall Street Journal and Foreign Affairs. Here’s a septet I grab in the process:
