We are going tomorrow night after my meetings to a spa where they give one hour foot rubs – YES! – I’m of the humble opinion that if you rub my feet I could possibly just be your slave for the rest of my life – on another note, tonight at dinner I had my palm read by one of my reporters – he said “long life, happy man, my career with honors and successes,…
