Dave, will I ever meet you? Oh, the things we could talk about. . . . English & French grammar, Jacques Barzun, the film criticism of Vernon Young (particularly the weirdly prose-poetic impressionism of his piece on the Ichikawa
Olympiad), Locke & classical Liberalism, hot-air ballooning over the Napa Valley (& landing by accident on the Wine Train), tsunami safety tips.
If I met Romy, we could talk about the great '50s westerns of Anthony Mann & Jimmy Stewart, or of Bud Boetticher & Randolph Scott; or the sugarplum tutti-fruttis of Technicolor-era Michael Powell.
I met Tiff at a Fleetwood Mac concert about ten years ago (she was causing trouble, too) & I met Les about twenty years ago at a wedding.
I wanted to meet Jean Enloe before she died (naturally--you don't want to meet someone
after that), but never had the opportunity.
