Mexico research mission...semi-report
January 30, 2010
Just back from Mexico…Mayan Riviera…where Pinsky was in fine form. The Mexican pólice are not a funny group. Rather serious and totally immune to any attempted “charm” from Pinsky. Pinsky listened and did exactly what the machine gun toting policeman said and everything was fine…
We are four days away from the UK release of Waiting for Columbus!!! I am about to become a Picador-ian…I already am a proud McClelland & Stewart-ian, and a Knopf-Doubleday-ian. My God; what the hell am I talking about? Listen, I recently did an “A-Z” style interview with Picador — a sort of top-of-mind lexicon from the left side of my brain…It’s right here for your viewing (reading) pleasure. It was really fun to do…
And, we’re starting to ramp up conversations about the paperback editions of WFC. It just never slows down.
Here are a few images from the east coast of Mexico….
First, is Pinsky and Inka and the little one…Second, is the view from the balcony — not a snow flake in site. Third, is Mr. Iguana hanging on a Mayan ruin…

I was just thinking that I loved the hat, and wished that I could pull off that look. Then I read in the A-Z that CL hates the hat. For some reason, that really, really amuses me.

Adam,
I know. It’s not this hat she hates, though. She was with me when I bought this one…in Mexico, in Play del Carmen. This hat was my first purchase — for which I failed to barter — I can’t barter!!! I don’t have a barter gene!!! The hat Cindy-Lou hates is a stingy brimmed beauty — a great jazz hat…
And hey, thank you so much for your review of Columbus. It was really nice. I love it that you “got” the book. I truly appreciate your support, man.
We need to smoke a cigar soon.
Thomas

Guys I don’t “hate” the hat. I just know you can look better in other things honey. Like the new one you bought.
