• Pinkberry With a Bonafide Hero – A Busy Night at the H.C.

  At the risk of sounding corny, I met one of my heroes today.  He writes a masterful blog which I follow religiously and enjoy immensely.  I’ve been corresponding with him for nearly a year, and his wit and  charm are even more keenly evident in person.

  

  He’s terminally straight and devilishly handsome, and he is literally an officer and a gentleman (and a good sport, despite my proclivities…).  He stopped by the Hotel Careyfornia today en route to a new assignment for the U.S. Armed Services.  He will likely be in Iraq and Afghanistan in the next year, and though I know that his training and his aptitude will serve him well, it troubles me to think of him in such a quagmire. 

  

  I write a lot of negative things about this war.  But at the end of the day, I’m grateful that people like James are on our side; protecting us and our way of life.  I’m really glad we got to spend some time together.  I look forward to when he gets out of the service and moves to California so we continue to expand each other’s horizons. 

   

  After some Pinkberry and lively conversation, we watched Tracey Ullman’s new sketch show “State of the Union“.  It’s so acerbically spot on, it’s uncanny.  I highly recommend it.

  Blogs & Kisses!

  As soon as James left, it was time for our next check-in.  My cousin Darlene has rented the Master Suite at the Hotel Careyfornia, for the next few days while she attends a meeting in Burbank.  Of course she brought Buster (the one eyed horndog) and Roxy.  They’re already enjoying their West Hollywood getaway!
