I'm Not A Reactionary.

One Of My Timesaving Habits Is To Save All Of My Magazines And Junk Mail For Airplane Trips. I Walk On The Plane With A Very Heavy Bundle, But By The Time The Trip Is Over, It Can All Be Thrown Away.

For Years, I Had No Time For Exploratory Travel.

Certainly, Jazz Has Become More Of A Niche, Which Is Surprising, Because It's Our Music. It's The National Music Of America.

Being Steeped In The Process Of Learning And Exploring Keeps Me From Becoming Too Nervous. Partly It's About Not Getting Bored.
