I’ve been living at APPLE the last two days. I went in for a fried phone, but when I got there, APPLE geniuses figured out that someone named “Danny from Chicago” has been getting a ride on my Apple Care… and I’m not eligible for a replacement phone because he’s been living large on my…
This is the letter I got online today … and what prompted me to write Katie Stern, the Curator at an art gallery, a note expressing my regret. Dearest Friends and Collectors After a beautiful run of 3 1/2 years at Bergamot Station, we will be closing the Frostig Collection gallery on the 28th of…

Donelle Dadigan, the effervescent “Wonder Woman” who founded the Hollywood Museum — in you guessed it — took Gloria Gordon and me on a fascinating tour today … and treated us to lunch afterwards.

Amanda remembered my ‘thank you’ blog, and sent this magnificent letter opener by L’Objet as a Christmas gift. I wrote her to thank her — so I can now…
