Left the casa at 5:30 this morning to pick up Mr. Gremillion, then dropped off Joan Vogan’s iMac that I had fixed at the Operations Desk at Rice, then off to the airport. Going through security, they searched my computer bag and told me I could not bring the crimper tool on board the plane because it had a small razor blade in it. Oy. Used the mail kiosk to send it back home, at a cost of $13 (but since the tool new is $25, figured it was worth it). Slept for a good part of the flight, landed at 8:30 Pacific time, got a car from Thrifty (were Jerome was extremley helpful) and drove to Paris to use the buffet pass I received last time…something very gratifying about going straight to the front of a line of over a hundred people. Dined very well, then stopped by the outlet stores to get a new pair of tennis shoes, since my old ones were MIA. We also bought sunglasses so we could be stylin’ and profilin’. Checked into the Stardust and played blackjack for a few hours…didn’t do so hot this time, but the trip is still young. Bought tickets for Harvey Korman and Tim Conway for Saturday night, went to New York New York and had burgers, then saw Zumanity. Very impressive, but not as good as ‘O’ in both John’s and my opinions. Met up with Eb and his friend at the Strat, but we were so zonked we just said howdy then bugged out to come back here to crash, which I shall now do.
