My Invitation Must Be Lost In The Mail

January

Larry Schwartz, aka “The Brain,” won’t be leaving Westchester County government for the greener pastures of the governor’s office. without a proper send off.

A cocktail reception will be held in his honor on Jan. 29 at Doral Arrowwood in Rye Brook. This is according to a photo copy of an invitation that was slipped to me by a Democrat, who does not intend to show up. The cost of admission is $45 per person, which includes a gift.

“If you are unable to attend, you are welcome to contribute toward the gift,” the invitation says.

Gee, what can you give to the man who already has everything?

Don’t feel bad. I wrote the journal news twice on important topics. they must have wound up in the same place as your invitation./

Cash. Rather than bon-bons, handkerchiefs, or golf balls, this type of gift always seems to elicit a (rarely-seen) sincere smile from a political operative.
