Today is Tony Bennett's 84th birthday. A few weeks ago he sang for 10,000 people in Istanbul, Turkey, of all places, and has a gig coming up in Philadelphia. His own favorite recording of his work is of a beautiful song by Richard Rodgers and Martin Charnin called "I Do Not Know A Day I Did Not Love You." It takes you to a different and lovely place for a few minutes. You must return but can go again as often as you wish. Happy Birthday, Maestro!
Newsweek has been sold for $1.00 to the billionaire husband of Congresswoman Jane Harman, a Dem from LA. That's one dollar and assumption of all debts which are considerable. I hope this is a change for the better, for the past few months Newsweek hasn't been worth a minute of your time. Mr. Sidney Harman is 91 years old and apparently wanted a new challenge. Go for it, Sid!
I have lately taken a shine to Charles Shaw Merlot, popularly called "Two-buck Chuck" because it sells for about two dollars a bottle. It's more than okay and has been a big hit in Southern Cal for for the past few years. Trader Joe's is the place to go for it.
