elevator music

1. they need glasses 2. definitely, 3. as long as it doesn't provoke a more agitated reaction from one your many nuts . but i think not likely. 4. when do i see you? are you going to yuri milners award deal?

Not sure. Agree as to characterization of article but think about this perspective. Strategy was to chill or preempt another outlet from doing this story w a hostile relative's perspective. In a sense the story she wrote isn't so critical, it's the idea that the story has now already been written.

At the lower level of tactics I would note that:

1. Got emails from 5 women saying photo made me look cute.
2. What bled thru seems to be "families are problematic and you did a great job in a difficult situation.
3. Nice comments from unlikely corners. E. G. Mike bloomberg. Andy Taylor. Mars family. These came out of nowhere.

Net. Agree that it was a heavy dose of pablum (and a missed opportunity to write on substance), but I'm hoping that we gained some of the strategic value described above.

Yuri wrote me a kind note and invitation. He picked my brain on this some time ago. Unfortunately it's the days of Hyatt's bod. I may be in NY in the late teens of December. Are you there?
