But but boxing is a really like it so it's a really really challenging form more challenging than Linnet can deal with actually. I mean when it has never been a real boxer you know he studied it but he could never he could never stay on the bicycle as it were. You know he could never do it every day. He had other things that he really did have to worry about like you know making a living that kind of stuff. But yeah I I'm very interested in the in the challenge of boxing you. I wrote a play about two months ago and Cincinnati is one of the very good regional theatres of playhouse in the park. I did this play that was really great always like so excited. They had Marion McClinton who was the director and he directed August Wilson and they had the guy who who designed the set for the Drowsy Chaperone he won a Tony for that. They had the guy who designed the lights for lying King. That was wild. You know it was great and we did it is like for a month with the Chinese Theater 600 seats they actually

I think broke even in the end after spending all that money I was shocked. You know I like plays you know what plays are a lot of fun and you know you're sitting next to my publisher my you know my publishers telling me that I write too many books and that I should write fewer books. And so like I select every once in while I write a play I saw a figure that's not exactly a book it's a play and I had to spend some time working at it. It's not not published it was going to be the next I'm going to do we're going to do it in St. Louis which we're trying to get into in the London Eye would be fun to do. They like Marion over there and so you know maybe we'll do that. You know listen I listen tell Boston to call me you know New York would be good too and you got to call me you know. Oh yes sir. Oh 10 things yeah you know. Katrina van who who's like really. She ties with the smartest person I've ever known. I know one other person who I think is as smart as Katrina. Well you know I met Katrina at a fund a nation fund raising dinner and I was complaining to her because

there were all these white people there you know it's a very you know common thing where there's only white people you know and I'm saying.
