Job-wise, I'm totally useless, but I'd be happy to buy you a beer sometime.  

Seconded, if you're ever in Bethesda or Silver Spring.  Hope to see you at some of those shows Dorvid mentioned.

Hey - just think of the hell the ACTUAL Lou Rawls' personal assistant probably had to go through.  2 words: denture cream.

His teeth are flawless, aren't they?  I never realized that until now.

AND he has great insurance, thanks to Colonial Penn.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Employed!  At a site survey concern near Sterling, VA. Things are starting to look up.

 Congratulations, Craig. I got fired by phone Monday afternoon on my day off, can I have Lou's phone number?

I'm glad this worked out, Rainer.

Stan - more time for golf!

Fore!

 But really, I don't think I played once last season. I'm going to have to make up for that.

Yeah, Stan, hope that's good news.  If so, congrats!
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Congratulations Rainer, my fellow Virginian on the mend.
You'll be going counter-commute, right?  Well played.

I'm assuming you want that number so you can get a tee-time with him on Laurie Anderson's rooftop green (kidding, but one never knows).  I never committed Lou's number to memory, but John Cale's stayed with me until the last year or so.  Cale's OGM was classic: just him stating his phone number in that Welsh accent.  I always hoped that we would switch it up a bit and utter a few lines from "The Jeweler's Eye,"  but alas, no.

Yes, Dorvid, a definite plus.  A nice consolation price to working in a pretty bland area (though I haven't probed the nooks and crannies yet).

Thanks for the congrats, everybody.  Things is coming together ... finally.
