After attending the All Souls Church here in NYC (a great service btw, I ran down to lower Manhattan (literally) and had a wonderful afternoon while Nora Ephron cooked me lunch! Yes it was delightful and my dish from now on will be her Key Lime Pie whenever I need to bring a dish to anything! It's as easy (and tasty) as pie, npi (no pun intended).

Then it was on to hear Zadie Smith on her thoughts on writing...can I just say that next year (hopefully) I'll be joined by some or better yet all of my children as they really needed to be here this weekend with me!

You all are on notice...start thinking NYC in October of 2007...we need to make it a yearly event, or at least next year anyway! I want to share this joyful weekend with you next year.

OK, gotta run...I'm headed back down south on Amtrak.

Goodbye NYC! Until next year...ILY, and don't ever change, stay the same as you are and peace and safety to you in this day and age!
