   The stripes on James Lipton’s dress-shirt appear to be… horizontal.

     It could happen. Think what a change we’d be from the people with whom he usually surrounds himself.

     (sets table, pours wine, waits for self-deprecating response from the Lickona sector)

       I saw him at this party last week that Angelico got me into, and he said he would sooner go on a 40-day pop culture fast than sit in some undersized warren in a Louisiana library and listen to a third-rate wannabe yammer on about some old Southern author and his relationship to pornography.

         He did, however, ask me if a search was possible.

           Did you ask him, ‘What is best in life?’

           Because that never gets old.

         Sure sure; I, too, would ‘sooner go on a 40-day pop culture fast than sit in some undersized warren in a Louisiana library and listen to a third-rate wannabe yammer on about some old Southern author and his relationship to pornography’. But that — wherever it came from — is not the point.

         The point is: Maybe he’d want to meet up with us in New Orleans.

   Angelico and Lickona see him at parties.

   Farrell does a better Lipton.

   I watched the first 20 minutes or so and marveled at the way he teased Lipton, especially for the blue cards. I don’t know if those nonsense skits work quite as well as he seems to think they do, but he’s both funny and smart and I’m envious as hell. Green to his red, as it were.

   I’ll never understand this fascination with pop stars.

   Well, gotta go; it’s nearly lunch time – beans straight from the can. Again. Warmed over a sterno unit. Again.

   But, you know, the protein helps me dig this hole I call home a little deeper.
