![]() ![]() ![]() There's a little bit of envy in the best of us. The same people seldom come back, but that's - that's envy, my dear. And when they leave, they leave impressed. Then I introduce them to Harvey, and he's bigger and grander than anything they can offer me. All very large, because nobody ever brings anything small into a bar. They tell us about the great big terrible things they've done and the great big wonderful things they're going to do. We came as strangers - soon we have friends. They say: "We don't know your name, mister, but you're a very nice fellow." Harvey and I warm ourselves in these golden moments. Very soon the faces of all the other people turn towards me and they smile. Wouldn't that get a little monotonous, just Akron, cold beer and "poor, poor thing" for two weeks?.Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be," - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart.I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whoever I'm with.Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.If you happen to lose the card, don't worry - I - have plenty more. Now if you should want to call me, use this number. Here, let me give you one of my cards. ![]()
