No booze for me for a couple of weeks, I think. If I am going to be on TV in front of 3,000,000 people (and I am not certain I will be) then I want to have my wits about me. I am having second thoughts about this appearance after looking at the sort of stuff the interviewer does. He’s a “humorist” but my angle on the subject matter of phone booths does not really have any humor to it. I think they made up their minds about me right from the get go that I am something other than what I really am. To be fair it has been a long time since I publicly articulated why I maintain such an enduring interest in the subject matter. But as for the TV exposure I could take it or leave it. TV just does not get you much on the WWW. It’s too big a step for people to get off the couch and interact with a PC or device. But more significantly I think that this interviewer and I have zero room for synergy, and he could try and make me look like an idiot. It has the makings of the CNN spot I did some years ago. That was the stupidest thing I have ever seen on television.
So I am sipping seltzer and lime at a pub. Feeling calm inside. Serene, even. It’s been like that for a couple of weeks now. I feel like me again.
