You know that list of stuff I was supposed to do (below)? I did it all. Except the thank-ee notes, and I’ve just been told I have a year to say thanks. I don’t think that’s true (I think people have a year to give us gifts if they wanted to). But maybe everyone believes in the year-myth and that gives me a reprieve. Then people keep telling me not to write them TY notes. But I must. It’s The Law. Seriously. This has been a krazy week, super busy but more to come. Lots going on at the Sun and getting ready for new pages, new ad campaigns, new…

My friend Dennis was teasing me today, old goat that he is, and inspired me to find this picture of myself in my new role. Here it is (left – click on it to enlarge!). Does that look like me? Am I that old yet? No, just feels that way. Boo hoo, just whining, don’t mind me. This weekend is a no-kid weekend in which we are clearing the wedding presents out of the living room, washing all linens in prep for winter (changing to flannel sheets and more blankies because NO HEATER in this house.

Deadlines today — am doing best to meet them despite drooling on death’s doorstep. Deadlines call, must be answered. Back to bed — and maybe another coupla movies. And youngest daughter Ana has joined me in my Sick March. That’s 2 out of 6 so far.

Sicker than ever, just taking 5 mins while the teakettle boils to check email. And add The Bourne Identity and Yours, Mine and Ours to the movies watched category. Plus parts of lots of Hitchcock, because it’s Alfred Hitchcock week on some channel. So we’ve seen parts of Rear Window, The Man WHo Knew Too Much and Psycho. It’s all a blur. But yesterday Cal won and the A’s won so life is but a dream. Back to bed with my tea…
