I AM RETURNED FROM THE TOUR, and I shall be posting photographs soon,
INCLUDING ONE OF ME standing before an ICONIC PROP OF TELEVISION.
BUT FIRST I MUST DECOMPOST this desk, and meanwhile ask
YOU ARE PERFECTLY AWARE, aren’t you, that DICK CAVETT is blogging for the NEW YORK TIMES?
IF NOT, make yourself instantly aware by clicking HERE.
That is all.
1981, VIRGINIA: Tourists flock to Richmond to experience Champ Stanley’s latest forecast: a rain of tiny bells made from a mysterious metal of unknown origin. This follows previous rains of silvery thread, ingenious puzzle boxes with coins inside, and little golden snakes that could speak. And so Richmond, too, is showered with wealth as visitors fill up its hotels and restaurants, taking each new odd item from the sky with them as they leave as tokens and proof that Richmond, without rival, is the most magical city in the United States.

I wasn’t even aware that Dick Cavett is still alive. And I know he’s different from Dick Clark.

I was certainly not aware that Mr. Hodgman appears to have a side-gig working in a Target store, as seems evident from his natty outfit in this picture.

Mmmm . . . another odd coincidence: I was perusing Mr. Cavett’s NYT blog whilst composing an e-mail to you (dated yesterday 11/18/09) that:
1) thanked you for attending to us at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco;
2) told you about a nice photo my wife took of you (which my computer forbade me to e-mail to you);
3)remarked on a strange, likely merely coincidental, event that connects your former Career as a Literary Agent and my hopefully blossoming one as a writer; and, finally,
4)pointed to a non-factual error I found in “More Information Than You Require” (Sidebar, page 270)that I firmly believe I have corrected. (Even non-factual history needs non-factual revisionists)
I shall continue to strive to get said photo to you.
