Carol Burnett was on the Leonard Lopate show today.  She talked about coming to New York and living at The Rehearsal Club, the real life role model for the boarding house in the movie “Stage Door”.  Of course it no longer existed by the time I was an aspiring actress.  I didn’t come to New [...]

Yesterday I read Mika Brzezinski’s book ALL THINGS at ONCE. I bought it because I teared up in the store when I read her description of being so exhausted that she fell down the stairs while carrying her 4-month-old and landed on her baby.

So here I am alone at a table with my laptop, oh wait I’m not alone, they’re baaaaack.  The Husband and My Kid went shopping between the time that we ordered and our food which hasn’t come yet. It is very strange to sit in a restaurant in the middle of an airport terminal. It’s [...]
