   Actually just trying to go with a vague and unhip Billy Idol reference. I stopped trying to be hip back in ‘98.

   Billy was a simple country boy, you might say a cockeyed optimist, who got himself mixed up in the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue. Oh wait, that’s Billy Mumphrey.

   So funny, I had never heard of Peter Matthiessen until recently when my friend Tom said, “What! You’ve never heard of Peter Matthiessen?” .. Now, I hear about him everywhere I go .. I hear that his book “The Snow Leapord” is more than very good. Now, I am convinced I have to get one of his books and find out for myself, why he and his writing is so well respected.

   Hey Jeremy,

   Thanks for the note. I’ve been avoiding Facebook so far but it sounds like a runaway freight train.

    I’ve heard that about Facebook and plus I don’t want to jeopardize my standing in the witness relocation program. I’ve said too much…

    Just picked this up in the airport on your recommendation. Great so far… but it’s not exactly a book you want to read, airport drunk and jetlagged. Too dense, too good.

    No doubt. Reading it is a commitment.
