Frank McCourt Is Said to be Near Death |
07/14/09
Just me - and them, it was something that just 'happened' and couldn't have been more special.
Here I was, dying to him questions about his life, his career, his experiences; ANYTHING & he was much happier asking me about me and my silly little entry level job and what I wanted to do next. "Frank" & "Tom" told me some stories, gave me some amazing advice and really listened to what I had to say. That lunch reigns in my mind as one of the most fantastically bizarre and special experiences I have had.

We had dinner, and I - a vegetarian - ate the served shrimp salad because I didn't want to offend someone who grew up so hungry.
After dinner, I realized he'd barely touched his food. Dammit, Frank!

BTW: Frank has done lots of things in his long life -- at one point, in the early 1980s, he and his brother Malachy did an off-off-B'way show called "A Couple of Blaguards." Much of the material, which was autobiographical, formed the basis for "Angela's Ashes." The show pops up occasionally, so if you have the chance, it's worth seeing.

And whom did you believe? Mr. McCourt or your mother-in-law?
