Having put Tuesday to bed now, a day that included mail from 30,000 feet as WFB takes a day trip to St. Petersburg, FL, to give a talk, then to the ballet with Ahmet and Mica Ertegun. Ahmet, WFB says, either owns The Rolling Stones ... or is owned by them.

“Sunday” now in the book, so to speak, the day beginning with mail and ending with mail, with Mass, a quick sail including Christopher B, an event celebrating James Burnham and then the ride to NYC and reuniting with wife Pat as she has prepared for tomorrow’s fete honoring VP George HW Bush.

Saturday is chock-a-block ... with David Niven’s visit, with remembrances of Van Galbraith’s swearing in ceremony as the Ambassador to France, with an impromptu, freezing cold day’s sail on WFB’s sloop.

Friday includes the taping of two Firing Line shows in Louisville, KY, and closes with WFB’s determination that this week — the very week we’re reading about — will be the week of choice for his Cruising Speed-type of journal. He refreshes his memory about the ground rules he established for the first of these books ... in 1970.

Most of Thursday is taken up with WFB’s memory of Millbrook School and Edward Pulling. Plus, a speaking engagement at the Waldorf, private air to another speaking engagement in Toledo and the standard nightcap wife Pat packs for him: a flask of vodka and thermos of grapefruit juice.

Wednesday is the day for 8 hours of Nicholas Nickleby. Plus some mail (of course), Bill Bennett for director of the National Endowment of Humanities (is he conservative enough, someone asks WFB?) and Ron Reagan Jr.
