Hello, Billy!

Sorry about that. Just got off the phone with Socttish comic Billy Connolly. The publicist got the times wrong -- I was expecting him at 4 p.m. and the phone started ringing off the hook at 11 a.m. Could have been a disaster since I didn't have my notes written out, was barely awake, sitting in my jammies -- but he's a great talker and very friendly. I tend to jump around in my questions -- a bit free form -- and that's certainly how his mind works. Got on the phone at 11:15 and just got off at 12:45. I love good, long talks but god help me I dread the transcribing.
