Thank you for all of your kind support of ASK AGAIN LATER in paperback. This week the book was No. 35 on the NYTimes Best Seller List.

Two friends took me out in the west village last night to celebrate the above mentioned. It’s always nice when you are with someone who knows to order the truffle fries even when they aren’t on the menu …

I almost never comment on current events here because no one cares what I think about current events and why should they? Anyway, much of the conversation last night centered around the NY Gov. and his recent troubles. Should the Gov’s wife have been present at his press conferences? I didn’t know what the Gov’s wife looked like before this week - so my vote was that she should not have been present because any chance at being anonymous with her children in this city is now gone (sure there are file photos to trot out, but that podium shot is the shot you see splashed everywhere). Then the two people I was with explained that they get all of their news online and there have been many photos of his children and his wife online. I still read the newspaper … I rarely get news online with the exception of the primary coverage. Conversation continued to range from: I’d have locked him out of the house for exposing me to any of this b.s. Isn’t it just fascinating that Spitzer was so compelled to go after people who were committing the same crime he was committing? Mostly though what I’ve heard people say is how disappointed they are that this man who said he was going to clean things up turned out to be so hypocritical. Perhaps that is what drove him to want to clean things up … to correct and repent for his own behavior.
