Apologies for the light post load here recently...busy at work, busy at home and this weekend, busy attempting to solve crosswords. As has often been the case, managed to make one mistake which cost me a bit, depositing my in 50th place (out of about 640), costing me 37th or so. Getting to be somewhat of a strain on these old eyes, that small print in not-so-great lighting situations, slowing me down a hair.

As ever, a fantastic time, though, seeing some great people, who I see all too rarely, meeting others, finding unexpected connections, including the amazing George Rosenfeld's story of giving Charles Mingus a ride home from a party in the 60s and Dan's plans for the Old Jews Telling Jokes franchise.
