It was, as advertised and reported, verbal swashbuckling -- in which I was at a huge disadvantage. Think about it. Mark has three names. Mark. Haskell. Smith. I use a mere two -- Matt Richtel, with Matt being a neutered version of Matthew. Outgunned from the very introductions, I had to fall back on counter-punching and periodically poking him under the table with my pen. All in all, a heck of a lot of fun (minus the pen marks on his pants). Afterwards, a panel watcher noted that Mark and I had a good rapport and perhaps should go on tour. Only if I can get a solid third name.matt richtelhttp://www.mattrichtel.comnoreply@blogger.com
