Thanks for all the kind words. I’m hurt, though, that you question the veracity of some of my stories. I want to assure you that all my stories are not only absolutely true, they’re BETTER than true. Truth, not unlike diamonds, often needs improving. My old girlfriend, for instance, didn’t actually run off to Venice, become a streetwalker and drown. But she COULD have. She SHOULD have. So now she did.

As for the Bono story, see attached. (I was actually trying to get him to read Renee’s book, on the table.)

Great to meet you!

Tom
