The message was from JackHe said his mother @@@@@ The message was from JackHe said his mother had connected him with someone named Dario Nannuzzi, and Nannuzzi would be happy to look at my pictures between four and five PM on Friday afternoon - could I bring no more than ten of those I considered best to the Scoto Gallery? No sketches; Nannuzzi only wanted to see finished work I felt a tickle of unease at this - No, that's not even close to what I felt My stomach cramped and I could have sworn my bowels dropped three inchesNor was that the worstThat half-itch, half-pain swarmed up my right side and down the arm that was no longer thereI told myself such feelings - which amounted to three-days-in-advance flop-sweat - were stupidI had once made a ten-million-dollar pitch to the StPaul City Council, which at that time had included a man who'd gone on to become the Governor of MinnesotaI'd seen two girls 235 through first dance recitals, cheerleading tryouts, driving lessons, and the hell of adolescenceWhat was showing some of my paintings to an art gallery guy compared to that?
