I'm just not feeling well enough to do all those things I do not want to do, but fine enough for those things I do want to do. India it turns out is not only good for the waist line but a perfect excuse too. I have to go to Dallas sometime in Dec for a refresher course on how to crash your helicopter and live and am waiting for a space on the course to open up. Hopefully it won't be the week you are in NY - fillet you know.

Somewhere between Vegas, Hong Kong, NYC, and 12 cities last week I needed some rest. I've been slammed in back to back meetings all week and find myselfnow like 300 emails behind. So I guess its best for both of us we didn't hook up, although Pm sure you woulda been a boost to my energy. Glad you made it home safe, hope the you've conquered the Bombay flu, and are back to feeling better. Guess neither of us are kids anymore, although don't tell our brains that. It's more fun to push it and act 22. Glad you enjoyed India, and the Taj just moved way up on my list. Have to do that one someday. 7 in 7. Maybe I'll take 7 weeks instead of days....Nah... I'll probably be in New York sometime the week of the 15th. Let me know if you're around, or if one day works better than another. Be great to see you. Have a great Thanksgiving, and we all have a lot to be thankful for. It's been a tumultuous year, but at the end of the day I'm still one lucky son of a bitch. All the best, and send some pictures or your trip now that you're back in the good 'ol US of A.

Loud, swarming, by turns wafts of incense followed by earth mixed with human and animal in equal measure - snake charmers and dentists side by side on the curb. Honking horns followed by an African silence. The Taj is beyond - it is simply my most favorite building I have ever seen - is dwarfs the Pyramids, or any other comparable - It is my no. one wonder of the world side by side with the Wall in China. It was definitely worth the effort. It is just as well I did not stay in LA as I think I have returned with with Ebola or Sars or some equally hideous thing. I am in bed miserable - the only positive is I am 5 lbs down and counting. Forget any of those stupid diets - simply go to India and drop like a stone in a matter of days. Hope you have had an equally stimulating time minus, naturally, the deadly virus. Gx EFTA_R1_01283311 EFTA02335801
