His agent, Jack Reale might be in MIA and the plane is headed there after dropping off either both Johnson's or the Mrs. Johnson to complete the legal part.


Or, possibly Gerald Ford is in the mood for some paella after the crabs he ate last night.


Orsini used to work in Florida, maybe he's meeting someone for dinner? Does anyone know where Orsini is today? If he is on the plane, that would be a good sign!

Orsini and Ford are taking Johnson to get an SMU tattoo at Miami Ink.

That doesn't make any sense to me. Hate to be pessimistic, but I think things have gone badly and we are on to Plan B. It is the Miami thing. That plane hasn't been to Miami in the last six months, so I presume it isn't a personal Ford thing. If the plane was just going to Baltimore, I could think that they were going to pick up Johnson's daughter. But it is going to Baltimore and immediately leaving for Miami.

Maybe I am wrong.

And if Plan B is Larry Coker, then, well, I am not a big fan of Plan B.

It was the kind of deal that in the past would have required everyone to meet and work through it. Face to face deals are not required anymore.


Damn...that reminds me, I have needed to get back w/ a property guy in Laredo since Monday. THANKS you guys.

Real estate and people (and families) are quite different.
I also would bet your due diligence, your term sheets, your binding agreements and your multiple legal drafts were completed first.
This was probably his (and Mrs.) first visit and first opportunity to ask Pres. Turner the questions we need him to ask and obtain the guarantees that will insure his success.
This isn't an auction but a "dance".

I'm a big fan of Plan B. It is a wonderful drug, and sure takes the pressure off when you realize you weren't seeing double, she was really that fat.
