Top 10 Things I Loved About this Weekend
1. Experiencing ALL of YOU.
2. Reading Jerrold's post (it's on his profile.)
3. Remembering all the good times your faces reminded me of.
4. The stories. Especially the back stories.
5. Seeing the first person I ever kissed (sorry Harlan, it was John Preskill.)
6. Bobby Saltzman doing Ricky Natkin doing Jeremy Irons doing Klas Von Bulow ("Sonny didn't care for doctors, Alan")
7. Seeing the really old childhood friends like Laurie Solgin -- who reminded me she staged a backyard photo shoot with an apple on my head, and a bow and arrow in her hands, poised, ready to shoot.
8. Seeing so many of you that I maybe didn't know as well but KNEW you nonetheless -- like DNA.
8.5 Making new friends, Deborah Rade, many others.
9. Experiencing the love I felt for all of you -- including many who were NOT there...like Toby and Laddy, Steve Borenstein, Marianne Newman, Cathy Brown, David Dolgin, Lee Nysted, Jeff Perraud, Raymond Dougherty, Walter Lemmon, Shani Kerman, others.
10. Feeling especially blessed to have grown up with you. Singing Blood Sweat and Tears with Nancy Lawton -- spontaneously and hypnotically.
11. Having Don Altman offer to do surgery of any kind Saturday night.
12. The fact that you accept my dsylexia.
13. Seeing Phil so happy. And Judy Mickelson so happy, and very blonde. First female jockey in Kentucky. She's got guts. So does Bob Popke...who was graceful then on the football field, and is even more graceful now.
14. Throwing rose petals at people...wish I'd had more...to throw at YOU.
15. Realizing that Susie Lewin is so bouyant that she could be a Macy's Thanksgiving Parade float.
16. What were your top 10, or 15, or 50?
Thank you all, especially the team who pulled it off, for such a fabulous time. I will remember this for a long long time.
