Glad you are alive to tell the tale - I thought I was the one dying this week. I am almost recovered. I'm just not feeling well enough to do all those things I do not want to do, but fine enough for those things I do want to do. India it turns out is not only good for the waist line but a perfect excuse too.<br> <br>

I have to go to Dallas sometime in Dec for&nbsp; a refresher course on how to crash your helicopter and live and am waiting for a space on the course to open up.&nbsp; Hopefully it won't be the week you are in NY - i'll let you know. <br> <br>

At 03:02 PM 11/26/2003 -0700, you wrote:<br>

back to back meetings all week and find myself now like 300 emails behind.<br> So I guess its best for both of us we didn't hook up, although I'm sure you<br> woulda been a boost to my energy.&nbsp; <br> <br>

Glad you made it home safe, hope the you've conquered the Bombay flu, and<br> are back to feeling better.&nbsp; Guess neither of us are kids anymore, although<br>

don't tell our brains that.&nbsp; It's more fun to push it and act 22.&nbsp; <br> <br>

Glad you enjoyed India, and the Taj just moved way up on my list.&nbsp; Have to<br>

do that one someday.&nbsp; 7 in 7.&nbsp; Maybe I'll take 7 weeks instead of<br> days....Nah... <br> <br>

I'll probably be in New York sometime the week of the 15th.&nbsp; Let me know if<br>

you're around, or if one day works better than another.&nbsp; Be great to see<br> you.&nbsp; Have a great Thanksgiving, and we all have a lot to be thankful for.<br>

It's been a tumultuous year, but at the end of the day I'm still one lucky<br> son of a bitch.&nbsp; <br> <br>

All the best, and send some pictures or your trip now that you're back in<br> the good 'ol US of A.&nbsp; <br> <br> <br> <br>

I am back in New York- it feels like a lifetime later. India can be <br> described as sublime chaos. Loud, swarming, by turns wafts of incense <br> followed by earth mixed with human and animal in equal measure - snake <br> charmers and dentists side by side on the curb. Honking horns followed by <br> an African silence.<br>

The Taj is beyond - it is simply my most favorite building I have ever seen <br> - is dwarfs the Pyramids, or any other comparable - It is my no. one wonder <br> of the world side by side with the Wall in China. It was definitely worth <br> the effort.<br>

It is just as well I did not stay in LA as I think I have returned with <br> with Ebola or Sars or some equally hideous thing. I am in bed miserable - <br> the only positive is I am 5 lbs down and counting. Forget any of those <br> stupid diets - simply go to India and drop like a stone in a matter of days.<br> Hope you have had an equally stimulating time minus, naturally,dnbsp; the deadly <br>

virus.<br>
