Fun is...

...riding in a cab with the son of a billionaire and paying the fare. Dish enjoyed a lovely evening filled with oddly moving religious music, food, and most of all, mini-desserts (which means you can have three).

It is small consolation for the tragic loss of Lena Horne who died at age 92. As TG says, if she'd taken better care of herself, she wouldn't have died so young. But seriously, what a joy it's been to watch and listen to her. I remember craving her voice one year and spending a season basking in tapes of her music. I have this feeling she was also on The Love Boat--oh wait, that was Show Boat. Blessings on her coming and going...

Speaking of tapes, wonder how Tom Cruise is reacting to news that a Scientology tsar shared Maverick's auditing tapes with his friends. If my therapists did that with my life, listeners would be...well...asleep. It's hard for me to imagine Tom without his Scientology but maybe there'll be an overthrow where Tom can be King. Stay strong, freaky little couch-jumper.

Lena Horne--what a beauty, in every way.
