Hello, 2009! Mrs. T and I spent the night at a serviceable hotel across the street from LaGuardia Airport. Now we’re about to catch a plane bound for Florida, where we embark on a month of nonstop cross-country travel that will take us to Palm Beach, Coral Gables, Fort Myers, San Francisco, San Diego, Kansas City, Chicago, and Lenox, Massachussetts. En route we’ll be seeing plays by Brian Friel, John Guare, Lillian Hellman, Eugène Ionesco, Theresa Rebeck, William Shakespeare, and Tennessee Williams, watching Miami City Ballet dance George Balanchine’s Ballet Imperial and Paul Taylor’s Mercuric Tidings, and visiting four museums. We might even spend the odd hour sitting in the sun.
I expect to blog from our various stops, but I’ll also be filing Wall Street Journal columns and keeping a distant watch on the progress of The Letter and my Louis Armstrong biography, so be so kind as to cut me some slack if I drop a stitch or two along the way.
See you where it’s sunny….
