Hey, I was in Scottsdale too. No car shopping...guest of aforementioned Mandy Pantinkin and his producer. He's not everyone's taste but I think he's a genius as a performer. As for fessin' up, these shows he sang "Bring Him Home" from LES MIZ (talk about timely) and a medley that included "Stayin' Alive and Sorry/Grateful" from COMPANY - killer stuff.

Plane reading: finally, Ian McEwan's "Saturday." What a writer. A book that covers one day and covers life, work, family, terror, crime, literature, love and forgiveness etc etc. He's on my top ten novelists list.

And, just gave in (NY Times article pushed me over the edge) and downloaded the Artic Monkeys EP - if you like your dose of Strokes and Franz Ferdinand, give it a try - it's really unadulerated.
