In New York City...
...and make of the stormy weather what you want, but I'm not touching that omen with a 10-foot pole.
I'm here, as planned, for the second annual Mirror Awards luncheon at the NBC Rainbow Room. I understand if I lose, I will be permanently ensconced in a 1924 photograph of revelers on the north wall. At any rate, it's been good to come here and catch up with friends and associates, which it seems I have fewer chances to do as the years go by. Seems hard to believe that back in my freelance days, when I was earning beans, I came out here five or six times a year.
After the Mirrors are handed out, I'll head to the offices of Broadcasting & Cable for a TV critics' lookahead to the 2008-09 television season, such as it is, for an upcoming fall preview issue. I'll finish the day with a trip to "The Daily Show." And then come right back home — after all, I've got tickets to see our red-hot Royals Tuesday night!
