Having lived a long & interesting life, I have a lot of stories. If we ever meet, I'll tell you about my date with Jessica Lange.

(hint... she stood me up!)

If she stood you up, can we really consider it a "date"?

I ate dinner and had coffee with Jessica Lange many times. The problem was she was at those restaurants and cafes with Sam Shepard and I was just at a nearby table. Sometimes Sissy Spacek was there too.

We "jumped the shark"!

It was on both our calendars.... How would I have described it otherwise?

She was 22. We met in a cafe in a small group of friends.
First response (on seeing her) was "wow..." (she was extremely beautiful).
Second response (on starting to talk with her) was also "wow..." (she was extremely smart).

Long time ago & of no real interest....
