O.T.:  SOMEBODY PUT ME OUT OF THIS MISERY (continued)

   Here's the "BLOOM SERVICE" story, from the NEW YORK POST, 22 November
2002, pg. 134:

_TOAST OF THE TOWN_
_Mets, Mayor woo Glavine_
(...)
   Mayor Bloomberg spent 30 minutes at lunch with the free agent explaining
how the Big Apple enriches the lives of its residents...

(The Big Apple enriches the lives of its residents??...This was during a free
lunch at the Four Seasons restaurant.  Glavine was being begged to accept $30
million for three years' work.  If he does sign with the New York Mets, he'll
probably live, like New York's David Letterman, in Connecticut--ed.)
