Wycleff Jean said this morning on NPR's Morning Edition that Miles Davis is a staple on his ipod.  He says Davis provides a boost to his own creativity.  i have just added a Miles Davis station to my personal Pandora package, hoping to boost my own creativity.  Well, that and i wanted to listen to good tunes.

  On another note.  Yesterday a gentleman, a member at my club, asked to make a reservation for Mothers' Day Brunch.  His name was Cheney.  i asked, flirting, as i do with the older men, "Oh, is there any relation to the vice president, i mean the former vice president?"  

"Only in our politics," he replied.  "And you were right in saying Vice President."

i simply smiled, and took the reservation. 

Polite.  Painful.  Perfect.
