Project Angel Food – Gardening Day 2
Today was another Fab day volunteering at Madison Garden for Project Angel Food. When we arrived, we were happy to see that a lot of the overgrown weeds had been cleared out providing a clear path to walk around to where the plants were. We…
Inn at the Seventh Ray
Gretchen and I headed over to the Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga Canyon today, because her friend Claudia Lennear invited us to hear her perform with friends at Will Greer’s Theatricum Botanicum. They were doing a tribute to Pete Seeger, a folk artist, called “The…
A.O.C.
After a somewhat grueling week for both Gretchen and me, we decided we needed some time off from our busy schedules. Gretchen suggested lunch, so yesterday I made a 1pm rsvp at A.O.C. thru Open Table. We had tried going there once before a couple of months…

Van Dyke Parks
How cute is this man??!! I remember meeting him years ago during a Rolling Stones concert (1989?), and I remember my mom’s great affection for him, so it was a pleasure running into him again at the presentation of “Barbara and Stanley: A Modern Romance” at…
Sally Kellerman
Tonight I met up with Gretchen and her dear friend, the truly fabulous and legendary actress, Sally Kellerman. Gretchen has known her for years and has always spoken very fondly of her, but this was my first time meeting her and it really was an honor.…
