===VII. SAINT PETERSBURG/ TAMPA (FEBRUARY 2004)===


Only a fool expects a rare occasion to have an encore. I was wise enough not
to expect a Fortune Rock repeat, yet, here I was waiting for Mailer. After not
seeing him for over two decades he was coming to Tampa and St. Petersburg.
I expected that his brief stopover would be a ho-hum encore of that 1972
podium fireworks visit, but again Mailer surprised me. He brought a new
companion, Father Time.
