That's what I've been -- sick and tired. I went to visit a very sick friend. It was such a roller coaster of emotion with her and with her beautiful family trying to cope. I was absolutely wrung out. The moment I got home, I got a terrible cold, just took me out. And I slept 2 10-hour nights and all one afternoon in between. Sleep was fantastic...

Now I've passed the cold to my husband. He's in day 3 and so much for sleeping through the nights...poor guy.

Anyway, I'm back and busy. I'll tell you with what later this week.

And btw, I saw Mel Gibson in the West LA Hamburger Hamlet back in the late '80s. He was sitting on a bar stool waiting for his date -- a salesgirl from Maxfield Blu on Santa Monica and Doheny. His wife and their children sat in Australia. Anyway, as Mel wobbled back and forth on his stool, he eventually dropped a bottle of Quaaludes on the floor, scattering those Rorer 714s all over the place. He dropped to his hands and knees to retrieve them as a number of people in the bar watched. Just thought I'd share!
