We converged up in Cambria last weekend. Seven of us, including our teacher Linda Schreyer, who’d set it all up. I lugged my typewriter — the only one to do that! — and we worked in our rooms, meeting occasionally for feedback, lessons and connection. I hadn’t written Linda a ‘thank you’, so did that…
My friend Gloria Gordon turned … well, let’s just say a year over 90 on Monday. I took her to The Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Hills, and asked our friend MIMI STARRETT to join us. Mimi bopped over from his real estate job, and we had the works — replete with a piece of Red…

Steve Cohn is a professional photographer so it was no surprise that his holiday card was a great shot. I couldn’t figure out how the kids could hold onto the moving train.. until I looked at it again and decided, “Oh, duh, I guess it’s a train that’s NOT moving.” Sometimes it takes a second…
