Chilean Miners

[MoMoNoMo]

I asked my son (the one who lives in Astoria, WiT) if he saw the NY marathon. Not only did he see it, he filmed it for the NY Road Runners Club, rode on the same bus as Edison Pena, the miner, and got to interview Mayor Bloomberg. (The Rudins, the mega-wealthy NY real-estate family that helped finance the New York marathon when it started in the '70s, were on the bus, too.) Pretty cool, huh?

No more Salmini films? They did the early ones. I`d love to talk with your son sometime.
I did some race promotion radio interviews with Jack Rudin in '78. He got a couple of the daytime talkers to come to his office and do them. I missstated the Clayton WR time in one- I felt so stupid -the interviewer said he would edit it before he played the interview- he did not.

Rudin had a giant diningroom table as his desk and the view was Park Ave from like 40 or 50 stories. I was impressed. The secretary leading me to the secy who lead me to Rudins secy might have help too.

Yeah, WiT, I'll give him your e-mail, if that's O.K. He's grinding away on a couple serious deadlines for the next month but I'll suggest he try to reach you after that. Thanks.

Just out his door is Manducatis Rustica- pizza and dessert, Manducatis full menu Italian fab wine list - and Domaine a winebar sister to Tournosol French rest- nicely priced wine funky cheese oysters to make it special. Tell him to ask for Chip the sommelier, he has been coming to our winedinners and my friend Stephanie Frederick says he was one of her best students*

You're the 'homme,' WiT!

All that`s missing from the beauty brains charm money and wit package is the money.

Wow, WiT, MoMo called you a homey! (Though he misspelled it.)

Saw an update on the Chilean miner whose wife and mistress met at the scene when he was still trapped. The wife and the mistress are both in jail now, facing the same charge.

They've been charged with having sex with a miner.

Wait for it . . . .wait for it . . .
