Well, today should be quite interesting — both in a literary and literal sense…

Later this afternoon I shall be driving down to the Riverwalk in San Antonio, where

at dusk, I will be having dinner with the two Executive Vice-Presidents of the

Endurance Insurance Group.  (At Boudro’s on the river.)  I am happy to report that

they are thrilled by my “insurance-related mysteries” and have agreed to allow me full

access to their most bizarre claim-files!  (Which should keep me writing for the next

50 years or so!)  This would be the equivalent of allowing a researcher into the secret

vaults at the Vatican  (Think DaVinci Code) so….  I am very pleased and excited!

I shall, as they say in the cinema, keep you informed, so don’t touch that dial!

(Or, at the very least, come back soon.)
