Those of you expecting to see Paul Newman and Alexis Smith will be disappointed, but I’m not. This week I was lucky to lunch with two of Philadelphia’s finest: Bill Tonelli (with me, left) of South Philly and Temple University, once my colleague at Esquire, and Joe Queenan (with me, right), the pride of St. Joe’s and one of America’s premier satirists. Bill gave me excellent advice on how to judge the value of agents. Joe, I’m delighted to say, sold me a very funny piece that at this moment is scheduled to run in the January issue of Playboy. It was great to see them, and I send them off with the traditional Philadelphia salute–“Booooooooo!”
