Several weeks ago I chose not to write about something but Nora Ephron’s blog at the Huffington celeb Joint about her being oh I guess so gushingly deliciously close to casino mogul Steve Wynn’s pushing an elbow accidentally through Picasso’s “Le Reve” brought the something back to mind so I guess I will write about [...]

Sigh, all of us being down with the cold since the week’s beginning is fraying our nerves somewhat. And certain things are driving me bonkers. Like the rumble.
