Rob Long talks about golf, dating, food poisoning, and how all three are perfect ways to describe the television business.

Rob oh Rob oh Rob,

It reminds me of a quote by David Ben Gurion first Prime Minister of Israel.

"Israelis don't believe in miracles we rely on them."

I know nothing of pilots; did a little acting; tried to write a one act play; could only get the first scene right.

If I started right now and did my old routine from 20 years ago..two quick trips to the range and putting green during the week and 18holes on Sunday..I could probably break 80 again in two months.

Now as for the second date:

Hmmmm...where is that Ben Gurion guy when I need him?!

Regards,

Jim

Lucky for you ....you’re a much better writer than golfer. I get the impression you love what you do. You’re quick, witty and often what you write sparkles. (God...that sounds patronizing... but I mean it.)

Please let us know when you exhale. I have full faith that the network will want that second date. Sadly, for me here at Ricochet, that will mean jars of glitter strewn about. After all, this network job will require your absence from Ricochet...a lot... and one needs some steady sparkle.

I’m excited for you.

But keep in mind....when you're all super- uber - famous and hanging with the Kardashians....don't forget that it's Peter Robinson who has the best belly laugh ever.
