FIFTY YEARS OF FAVORITE PLACES

The young lady from LIVE MAGAZINE had already started the interview when I arrived. I was a few minutes late and she had mistakenly assumed my associate was the interviewee. I sat down and listened to her repeating his statement about his philosophy about travel. "So, like you feel that mind over matter dictates pleasure and that geographical location serves only as the stage for mental energy to create a suitable backdrop or set?"

Earl chuckled and explained the confusion. She was somewhat embarassed about confusing us; she apologized and continued in the error of her ways. "Could I assume that your feelings about travel are similar to Mr. Stonebridge's?" she asked.

"Lesson one," I said to her, "never assume anything. Now, about Earl's philosophy about travel, not that it matters here, but you don't expect me to believe that nonsense from anyone who maintains and pilots their own Gulfstream do you?"
