NEW PALTZ FIASCO
Five days before the arrival of Jean-Louis and Jean-François in Boston—the only available flight on such short notice—I organize a dress rehearsal.
Organize? Not really.
To Albert and Donald, I transmit my wishes: we need to spend a few hours out of New York, in complete privacy, on a secluded flat piece of solid land bordered by a few trees, so that I can try out the equipment and show them the rigging sequence. They say they’ll organize it, no problem.
No problem? Not really.
