mattie has been away. he played twelve concerts in thirteen days in illinois, iowa, north dakota, nebraska, kansas, oklahoma, arkansas, and missouri. i picked him up at laguardia airport. we said hello and then drove to flushing, queens where we ate a dozen crab and pork soup dumplings, bamboo shoots, and scallion noodles.
i am very glad that mattie is home.
