Almost through reading the 300 emails I returned to and am happy to hear
Jack made it through the operation - geez what a Valentine's Day!
Happy belated birthday to Rose, our photo goddess! I do have a Nikon F but
don't use it much because it weighs (or feels like it weighs) about 8 lbs.
plus it is in fragile (but good working) condition. Wish I could have
lugged it safely along to Hawaii, though.
Steve and Kate - I loved your accounts of the Folk Alliance! It sounded
completely magical and how fun to have a minifest with Roberto, Wally K and
Stephen! Wish I could have been there. Vancouver is the most beautiful city
in the world, IMO and I would have swooned to have been taking high tea or
martinis at The Empress in Victoria!
Beth asked about Joni "landmarks" in L.A. As Paz mentioned Daily Grill and
Les Deux have been well-publicized in L.A. magazine and other places. I had
a wonderful night last Saturday at Les Deux with visiting NYC jmdlers
Stephen and Rusty. We were all joking that Joni probably never frequents
her old haunts now that the word is out. But they are great places to meet
and dine, regardless. Lindsay and I are scheduled to have lunch at Daily
Grill this Sunday on our way to see Jonatha at Borders in Santa Monica -
anyone want to meet us, let me know.
