New York, May 17 – Tuesday was one of those magnificent spring days, warm but not hot, brilliant sunshine, a fresh breeze blowing. So we went over to the park at lunch hour, filled our lungs with blossom-scented fresh air, and then sauntered over to our favorite sports bar, where we spent the rest of the hour in the murky darkness, regretfully contemplating the rest of the workday over beers. At one point the door flew open, temporarily admitting bright sunlight, as well as a bunch of laughing people, all talking excitedly. Oy, we thought, can’t they just leave us alone? And we stared directly at these interlopers, giving them the evil eye for interrupting our reverie, and realized, squinting in the gloom, that one of them was Jay-Z, who happens to own the bar. That smiling couple was Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The other smiling couple was Thalia and Tommy Mottola. And the one with the biggest smile was Lisa Price, who was unveiling a new ad campaign featuring Jada Pinkett Smith as the face of her skin care line, Carol's Daughter. And then we went back to the office.
