My friend Neil Innes just breezed through town the other night. He and the band gave a terrific show, and I've been humming the melodies for days. The tour's over by now, but if you ever do get the chance, go. If the Monty Python, Rutles, and Bonzos stuff don't do it for you, and his more recent solo tunes don't climb into your head to live, you are clinically dead.

Keep an eye on this young man. I see big things ahead.

PS: I have several friends, acquaintances, and mere objects of admiration who have great projects out of late, and when I get a minute I'm gonna try slapping a Recommended Stuff module over on the right. When I get around to it. Neil's show was my weekly trip out of the house. Amazing thing — the book has actually been more work now that it's finished than it was before. The details would bore you, but little did I suspect that writing it would by now seem like the easy part.
