They re all tired, white, fat men mostly. But one day, about a year and a half ago, I was waiting to get on that shuttle, and my cell phone rings, at 6 a.m. Very few people have the number, but my wife does. And it s her, fairly ticked off, but the client called her, and said, Cancel the meeting. You know, the meeting in New York is cancelled.
Somebody is ill.
My wife is nice enough to call me and say, You don t have to get on that plane. I can go to work at 6 a.m. O.k. I don t mind. Not being on a plane is a day in heaven to me. But I decided to do something different.
