  1. So I went to 50 Fun Toilet Facts, and found the following:

    7. King George II of Great Britain died falling off a toilet on the 25th of October 1760.

    10. The toilet is flushed more times during the Super Bowl halftime than at any time during the year.

    11. 90% of pharmaceuticals taken by people are excreted through urination. Therefore our sewer systems contain heavy doses of drugs. A recent study by the EPA has found fish containing trace amounts of estrogen, cholesterol-lowering drugs, pain relievers, antibiotics, caffeine and even anti-depressants.

    21. World Toilet Day takes place on November 19 of each year.

    24. 40,000 Americans are injured by toilets each year.


  2. Robert Redford at a restaurant in Phoenix many moons ago.

    We also met Dixie Carter at the Cafe Carlyle after one of her shows -- we sat next to John Wallowitch, who wrote many of the songs she sung in her act, and his partner, Bertram Ross, who was Martha Graham's principle male dancers. We had a wonderful time together sitting and talking about music and performing.


  3. Once or twice a year I take my mother to Le Bernardin in New York City. We missed it in 2011 since she was in and out of the hospital so much. But my mom always seems to walk better on days we go there, and they treat her like a queen.

    Last time we went, they made her a special chocolate grenache cake to celebrate her birthday. The maitre's brought it out on a silver platter and the whole room watched as he lit the candle.

    Luckily, I think she will be healthy enough to go this year.

    One time I ran into the chef Eric Ripert, literally as I rushed to the ladies room - he is quite a handsome man. I excused myself in French, and he moved aside and spoke to me in French...I love French and handsome man...and fresh fish seasoned perfectly....and special service.
