(Details forthcoming.)

  The very best of West coast friends and writers all. Lisa Birnbach, one of my bridesmaids and queen of The Official Preppy Handbook, and Mark Saltzan, maestro behind the "Sesame Street" characters "Bert + Ernie."   (Cue Bette Midler's "You've Got to Have Friends." )

  "Smile! Now, say cheese!!"  I sweartogod this giraffe was looking straight at me. Whattaham.

Come join me  as I give a book talk on this second edition of   "My Stroke in the Fast Lane: A Journey to Recovery"  at Irvington Public Library  on Saturday, November 9 10:30 - 11:30 am.  Please come and hear the drama of  driving on an interstate highway at 65 miles an hour  when I had the stroke.  (It's everyone's worst nightmare.)  After years of physical and occupational therapies, speech therapy, the love and encouragement of family and friends, and POSITIVE thinking, I am back to my "magnificent life." Hope to see you at the book talk at Irvington Public Library!

I'm scaring myself out of my wits every time I look at this sideboard.  It's my annual Halloween "accoutrements."  Mmmmmmmm-whhhhhaaaaa- aaaaa-haaaaaa!!!  Scairyyyyy!  ~~//~~
