It's finally over - the suits are leaving today.
We crowned the week last night with a tribute show for Uncle Walter, as in Cronkite. He was so cool!
Had everything ready - all the suits in place, cameras ready to roll, lights, action - but no WC!!!???!!! Shit!!! I find him holding court with a bunch of babes out in the galery, he's sipping wine and John Filo the huge Kent State, Pulitzer photog is snapping away. I really don't want to destroy any mood yah know, me a pee-on, but I need the man on stage. I get his attention but he tells me he has to go pee first. Great! A whole bunch of folks are waiting!
10 minutes later he makes it to the stage.
Funniest moment? A question from the audience, again from Brian Mulrooney: "Tell us the most impressive world leader you've met - and the least impressive." WC goes into what he believes should be the criteria for a great leader - I agree with his assessment totally. Then he definitely and swiftly speaks of Anwar Saddat. Great man. No others get close.
But, but, but..... Uncle Walty, you forgot, what about the least impressive (he's being prodded) - he hesitates, he fudges a bit - well he says - "I really didn't like Hitler very much." Huge laugh from the audience.
That is all - I'm a 10. It is over. Work Christmas party tonight, big band, and held in a huge, big time (you guys see it all the time) TV studio overlooking Times Square.
Yep, life is pretty good. And I'm on virtual holiday until Jan 4th or so. My year is done. Fini.
And a new one looms. Yuch!
I'm a 10 and unstoppable today - hope you are too.
