Morning after at the P-I
Went in to work this morning to do my exit interview. The final paper was published last night and the P-I is now a web-only news site.
There were a surprising number of people in the newsroom. Some were working on the web site, others were cleaning out their desks, which is one of the things I did. Computers are being removed from most of the desks.
Before I came in, I e-mailed KPLU and requested a song: Tony Bennett and Bill Evans' haunting version of "Some Other Time." The song is from "On the Town." The lyrics are by the incomparable Betty Comden and Adolph Green, the music is by Leonard Bernstein:
Some Other Time
Where has the time all gone to
Haven’t done half the things we want to
Oh well
We’ll catch up some other time
This day was just a token
Too many words are still unspoken
Oh well
We’ll catch up some other time
Just when the fun is starting
Comes the time for parting
But let’s be glad
For what we’ve had
And what’s to come
There’s so much more embracing
Still to be done but time is racing
Oh well
We’ll catch up some other time
