It’s true: Today, around 345 or so, maybe 340, maybe 346, who’s to say, an interview re BACK OF THE HOUSE is taking place LIVE with the very estimable Anthony Brooks @ Radio Boston.  WBUR has been promoting the segment all day.

I’ve decided to follow Mamet’s advice: “Always tell the truth–it’s the easiest thing to remember.”  Which here means that if and when I’m asked about a certain chef’s reaction to a certain book: Shocked.  He was shocked.

And he was, and I don’t blame him.

In other news, a high school classmate told me over the past week about his uncle who was one of the Tuskegee Airmen.  My friend has all his letters; his sister is sending up copies.  She read me one over the phone.  This is a great story.
