Hey, guess what? I took that picture on the banner above. I DID! It’s of Bayeaux, Normandy where my father and I went for the D-Day tour. If I could make it bigger you’d see my Dad lower right-hand corner dressed like Walter Matthau pre-Odd Couple. I’m feeling reinvigorated towards my dinner parties this year. But with one BIG change: Only 4 people at a time. So, really 3 because I’ll be there. That way I don’t have to double any recipes and we can all eat around my kitchen table. I don’t know when I’ll do it. I’m in an improv show on the weekends through the end of January so it’ll probably wait till Febroodary.

Hey, guess what? I got my first full night’s sleep last night since returning! I went to bed at 10:30 and woke up at 7. Hooray! Of course, I had maddeningly vivid dreams about flying low (about 6 feet off the ground) through the city of Chicago naked and then getting molested by a retarded man at a Hamburger Stand. But I don’t complain. Thankfully, I was asleep when all that was happening.

So, last week at this time, I was in France. Ah…….
