Obnoxious?? What on earth are you talking about?

I said, "Gerry somebody" because the party's name slipped out of my head.
And I identified the person as not yet with the NY Philharmonic. And he
came back and asked if I was talking about Gerry Schwartz, who turns out to
be exactly who I was talking about.

Now everyone is permitted one screw up. And now you have had yours. If it is
your intention to be impolite, we are not going to get along.

Dear Dan,

Your response is obnoxious. How on earth would you be able to agree
with Chuck Strum, if he refers to an entirely different person?

I am going to go play some clarinet. I appear to getting quite testy.

I swear that the can can should be playing in the background with a
round of fireworks to boot.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Jones
