No big write-up for today—after rehearsal, I did a 7 PM onstage interview with David Pogue and signed a few books. He was terrific, a bracing conversationalist who brought out my mischievous side. Now I am home, it’s 10:30, I haven’t really eaten dinner, and I have to get my ass in gear for tomorrow. How about a few pictures instead?
