Nigel's instruments and appendages, Imagination, Conscience, Marriage
Franca - I'll never forget you. My gratitude to Brett for the very late night, the sisters, for bringing my cell phone in the cab to my place and more. Should I stop by the workplace tonight? Send my contact info to ________. Surely some of last night happened last night. With enough effort, imagination and reality can intersect and they did this morning. More later.

SPINAL TAP, question #133:
Name all of the instruments Nigel plays, and with what appendages does he play them?
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Does one need more or fewer numbers to answer these questions? For example,
1. guitar with right and left hands
2. mandolin with right and left hands
etc.

Tom Delay, the meanest of mean, has been indicted. That's such a good thing. I won't begin to comment in detail as I am sure that everyone everywhere is having their day with that. I learned about it yesterday via text message (my vibrating phone) at noon at Columbus Circle as I was walking to Lincoln Center. Wow - can things get this much fun in Washington? Will the Republicans stick with him or abandon him? Some will certainly jump ship. Many are going to feel that Delay is a great example of "where there's smoke, there's fire." Even in his indictment he's nasty and I am sure that some people still fear the viper. He was a great example of how to manage by intimidation.
Today he gets fingerprinted.

The baseball season is not over. The only safe predictions I have made already and they are:
The New York Yankees will not win the World Series.
The New York Yankees will probably not make it to the World Series.
If you are going to field a baseball team, and there are no salary caps, it is better to have $206 million than $112 million.
A team with $206 million should beat every other team especially if the richest of the other teams has only (ONLY?) $112 million.
