One of the earliest pieces I still have. Written for my good friend Robert’s 40th birthday, it is matched in structure with the piece I wrote for his 50th. I had sworn I wouldn’t go to New York to celebrate, in part because of lack of funds. Glad I remembered what was important!
Funny how things work. Shortly after writing this, my firm closed, and I left the new offices this talks about. Check out Holiday 2000.
Robert is one of my dearest, favorite friends–in no small measure because perhaps best of my friends, he practices the art of friendship. This was written for his 50th birthday, and structurally tracks Sweet Robert, which I wrote for his 40th.
