If the spinal column were a chest of drawers, what would be contained? Anne Bancroft and Mel Brooks and the party to begin when someone walks through a door. This morning's smoothie--cherry, vanilla, with almond extract and megadoses of cinnamon. Visiting artist from Scotland. A Blake scholar. A printmaker. A diner at Lindy's with me and L-Bo and the lovely Charlene, on Sunday night. Chocolate velvet...

" The Graduate " ( Mike Nichols , 1967) During the summer of 2009, the small rom/com " (500) Days of Summer " contained a line that hit home on many fronts.

Lots of young romantic kids grooving on...

I have had two severe migraines in the last week- certainly a result of exhaustion and stress. Had to go to bed this afternoon for hours to knock out today's headache. :( How about some good news? People who don't understand...

On Monday, my youngest daughter had to pay a visit to a dentist on Wimpole Street . These days, the street is lined rather prosaically with the discreet brass plaques of dentists . . . but at various points in time (real and fictional), characters as diverse as Arthur Conan Doyle, Elizabeth Barrett, Professor Henry Higgins and Paul McCartney resided there. It is one of those London places with a special...

Ben is seized by something like stage...
