i just woke up and read this, and it sort of made my day, thanks ! i don't mean to hijack your experience and this isn't even about oslo, but it just got me thinking about Keith's family...I actually got to say hi to Patti for a moment in Rome. that sunday morning i happened to walk past a restaurant table outside next to the hotel, where blondie was sitting with the security guy watching (with an eagle-eye) the stones-luggage get loaded into the back of a truck. blondie recognized me (haa, that's another long story
) and he must have been feeling sort of relaxed that day because he told me "have a seat". so we're sitting there smoking cigs and chatting about this and that (ahem i guess making the security guy sort of nervous and distracted...) but anyway, at some point, out walks patti from the hotel with a few people - they were going to get something to eat in the restaurant. so she came over to say hi to blondie etc. for a minute - i'm just sitting there with this totally dopey grin on my face, not quite believing this, and at some point she noticed me (a total stranger) and with her huge sunglasses and a radiant smile, said...Hello !! i was like ... (gulp)... hi !!! that's all i could think of to say. at any rate, my point is that she just seems like the nicest, warmest person in the world(she was so nice that i couldn't even feel very jealous about her man
and it looks like they passed on all this loveliness to their children too.
okay, anyway carry on
very nice review !
