[Put chunk of wood on the fire.]  [Draw glass of wine from box on the edge of the sink on the island in kitchen.]  Ah, retirement.  Tonight we heard from a fellow whose name contained the word “grim.”  He told us some of his experiences in the U.S. Foreign Service.  Best of all, I met Kathleen Ely.  And I got reacquainted with Rhonda Whiteman and the usual suspects who show up at those things.  You know.  Russell Rowland.  Tom Tully and Barbara Archer.  Walt and Barbara Gulick.  Tracy Heilman.  David Casero was there.  I hadn’t met Kathleen before, so that was good.  I wondered if they were all intellectuals?  Some of them are the real deal.  They are intellectual giants.
