    Letterman chose his writers well. I spoke with Letterman one time on his radio show in Indianapolis. I did talk to his agent about insuring his vehicle. I wrote it for a brief period of time with Lloyds of London. I also met Lou Rawls in an elevator. I think we were attending the same event in Buffalo, but I can't be sure. I have short term dementia, but my long term memory is slightly better. False memories are common, so I hope I'm not embarrassing myself. I also met the drummer Buddy Rich at night looking in the window of a closed store in Indianapolis. We spoke for a brief moment. I mentioned seeing him on Johnny Carson, then I went on my way. Weird how long term memories stays with you a little longer, while short term memory loss occurs much sooner.

    This is delightful, for all sorts of reasons. The overarching theme seems to be that Nancy is a saboteur with the skill level of an international standard. Also, the look on Dave’s face when Tom Hanks kisses Nancy is priceless. Finally, it seems that this video package is proof there is a method to make family vacations tax deductible.

    As soon as I saw her at the beginning of the clip, i was hoping she'd mention the Eagles thing. That was an enlightening video about how greedy artists/labels can be. $250,000 to play a song on TV when Letterman was promoting the fact they were playing at Madison Square Garden (he found out pre-show a couple in the audience were going). If you haven't seen this video, search for "letterman Eagles". It has a very satisfying ending.

    For all of you people who are "anti-work" (as reddit would call it) or against capitalism etc etc... this woman started off as receptionist. And no that's not rare when you're showing up on time and working your ass off. It happened at my dad's company, the receptionist ended up as, damn I don't know the exact job title, but under the producer, bidding jobs. I watched it happen. It took 8 years or so, but she was pretty high up in the company. (then without permission booked a flight to N.Y. saying it was for business and took a friend from the company with her, and they got caught. She was fired that very day).
