Read the commentsI think the oatmeal is OK in the evening - navy would be a little better, but also rather smarter, so it depends which of those you care more about

Really hope we have a Despos visit in there somewhere. Chris is the man.
Oh yes
I spent a number of years in Austin and there is a lot of fun stuff to do there especially if you’re a fan of live music. Highly recommend you check out the Elephant Room on Congress Avenue if you’re fan of live jazz. Also, visit Trudy’s near the UT Austin campus for some great Tex Mex food and their signature Mexican Martini!

Thanks Ashish – I’m actually already back. Coincidentally I did go to the Elephant Room though, I’m a big jazz fan. I also caught some jazz in Chicago (Andy’s?).
I was in Austin with Kirby Allison from the Hanger Project, who lives in Dallas but went to school in Austin, so he showed me around.
Dear Simon,
today I have read an interesting and touching article about the NY based tailor Martin Greenfield. His vita is astonishing, he survived Auschwitz and is today one the best known tailors in the USA. He tailored for a lot of presidents and left small advices inside the jackets.
Do you know him?
Sincerely,
Christopher
