Highlight

clinton woody kagan , do not add one penny to budget

That was fun- definitely the highlight of a day that was not without other interesting moments

Don't know which was better-- the wholly unexpected surprise reminder (by a prime minister) of my
boyfriend from 1976( who was in high school, who lived with his doting parents), or , getting creamed on my
producer's budget but then offered the opportunity to profess poetry for production funds . There may be
someone as good in New York, but i'll never tell you and you really have a heck of a seminar table there .
When do we do Whitman's "Song of Myself" 1-15 Who else is reading with us? I'm ready .

A few other follow ups :

David and Brigid point out that reality tv doesn't cost anything because it is, as it sounds, very low budget .
No writing , no special expertise or knowledge or research , no archival footage , no copyright clearance , no
actors , no travel beyond the one location , certainly no clinton or woody allen or justice elena kagan or david
brooks or Lena Dunham or even Professor New. That said , I think If were hiring the crew id do it for less --
probably 1, 250,000 all in . But I haven't won 10 Emmys and David has . That has value too. As does Wgbh .
But I'll be more prepared for the next conversation and want to be much more prepared for templeton, so
thank you .

I really liked Michael. I would like to send him some stuff , but in googling him I noticed that we have the
same birthday! May I have his email?

You are in! Yeay! Lets see what this may mean? I'll improve my numbers and you'll improve your deep
reading ?

Fab! And tomorrow?
