    Winston? No fears man. These are good people finding their way through the interstitial vagaries of web-biz… good hearts, I’m sure. In fact, as I crafted this little comment a young journalist from kansas City called and said that he had just clicked through to Tony’s blog and found him to be crazy, which is a good thing. He, the journalist, said it was v. good writing, spelling errors and all. Tony said he got his training at Santa Barbara where sometimes the prof would require that they write a poem about cows in two minutes, or the worst poem they could write in five minutes or like that. He challenged me to try it on Sandhill, but god knows there are enough cow poems in the world, and I learned on the subway that if Hep C was doing to my face what it’s doing to my liver I’d get it looked after. And on the Staten Island Ferry the NY Dept. of Public Health was handing out nicotine patches which is the noughties equivalent of the sixties fixation with Demerol I think, and since I just got back from Delancey Street - or Broome, which is close enough - there is a strange poignancy for me in that observation.
