a few notes on/from LA

The terminal at JFK had CNN-sponsored televisions playing, sensibly, CNN. What kind of a name is "Wolf Blitzer," anyway? He sounds like a Chippendale.

Why is the release of the sixth Harry Potter book still such big news? Who is J.K. Rowling giving handjobs to?

I'm sorry, that was crass. What I meant was, "To whom is J.K. Rowling giving handjobs?"
