Prestigious Cup "Magnificent"
he gushed. "It's really wonderful,
really terrific."

Well, the five-day "Dr. Risk"
Program with the Sacramento Bee
ran Monday through Friday last week.

Good Vibes from Armstrong and Getty.
I woke up early Monday and heard
most of the A & G show. They had
a lot of "Dave's" calling in that day,
it seemed. They talked about
Norman Mailer and the craft of writing.
I could relate to that.

Good vibes from Ross.
It was a rather small and intimate
audience at Memorial Auditorium Monday,
compared to October.
I arrived pretty early and got to sit
in the center just a few rows from the front.
I was surprised when I heard
the gentleman sitting next to me
introduced to a group as "Ross".
Then I recognized him and introduced myself.
He must have read
my apology for bad behavior.
He's a fan of Bob Dylan.
He's a very friendly guy
and we have a lot in common.

Well, once you're over 50,
I guess it's good to be anywhere,
but it's always good to be at an event
with Gov Arnold and Mr. Riordan,
two giants of intelligence and leadership.
The announcement was about pacts
with several Indian tribes.
The first Indian leader who spoke
was especially energetic
and spoke passionately and intelligently.
He was a former paratrooper in the U.S. Army.
And then I stayed afterwards
and watched the press corps
conduct an interview.
It's humbling and inspiring
to be in these gatherings of people
of such high-powered personalities,
character, talent, will and intelligence.
It's a feeling I've had
for a whole week.

Good vibes from Michael Savage.
I stopped off at the State Capitol,
before and after the governor's announcement,
to put myself in the right frame of mind.
After that, I returned to my camper
with a busy mind with a lot to absorb.
My finger rolled the dial through
the radio stations until my ear
caught Savage. Michael was exceptionally
pleasant and soothing to listen to Monday.
(I often find his angry delivery
emotionally tiring, even though
I usually agree with him).
He talked about the joy of having
a puppy and how a puppy
can bring such life to people,
about the joy of the old family van he has,
about his summers in upstate New York
escaping the hot NYC ghetto.
I could relate to that.

Good vibes from Dr. Sowell.
Here are some of his recent articles.
Bing Crosby: Singer of the Century
Silencing Whom?
Fat in California's Budget
Summer de-programming
Thomas Sowell Archive
I could relate to that.

Then I relaxed,
listening to soothing music
from "The Music of Your Life" station.
