Consider garments rent, teeth gnashed and hair, (metaphorically) torn. It looks and sounds like a great time, and what an enviable reason. Early retirement! Excuse me while I once again melt into a pool of festering green envy.
I wandered into your blog from the net and appreciated its atmosphere, attitudes, and grace at once. :-)
Actually, I am doing some research on Lorenz Hart, and your reference to the trivia point on the TV in one picture brought me in (but the Dick Cavett piece on obesity kept me). Anyway, did you read that trivia point? He was said to be unusually short? He either was short or he wasn't (which he was, by the way) but I was wondering why they would make his height into something you could dispel like a rumor. And they never give his height! Like many short men in public life, he used elevator shoes, and would have had them on for all photo ops. He was under 5 ft tall, and he was a brilliant (but tormented) songwriter. I feel for the guy, because I'm short too, and I'm gay too, so I understand he had a lot to deal with given who he was where and when he was--and I appreciate the gift of his lyrics very much.
Thanks for letting me vent. Good luck with your blog.
