We went out to the audience and it was hard to get our seats We had to kick kids out of theood dancer, and he goes into a hole and comes out the other side in a different outfit, I don't kno he does it

I was dropping Jon off and as we passed Columbus Circle I saw Mark and Mel, the two stars of Gallipoli Gallipoli, alone, just sort of wandering, and it was sad Their party was over and they looked lost, like they didn't have anywhere else to go

But they do have a 12 percent ood But then this 895 one is practical, it's 18 as opposed to the Madison one which is 2, but you'd have floors renting and the inco in I don't know And Fred's in the saust 27, 1981 There was a lunch for Sharon Hammond who's now the Countess Sondes Lady Sharon said she has a Nautilus in her house and that we could use it It's 20 an hour because a lady coet the building at Madison and 32nd So that put n a letter and write a check and see what happens
