The Blue Skirt - first showing

The Blue Skirt appeared today at a Tyson screening
in Beverly Hills with friend and colleague, Lewis Teague.

Prior to that I was also at the Women's Club in Pacific Palisades;
And then had a brunch with Teague,
and also with Actress Laura de Las Bayonas and family,

AND THEN I bought 3 lbs of pears at the Farmer's Market....
