ALL OF A SUDDEN (December 25, 2000)
Lauren called me from Malibu this afternoon. It was morning for her. As soon as we exchange a few words, she burst in frantically: “Darling, I just called you, but all of a sudden I need to crap so badly I could die!” I let her go, and she called me back a few minutes later. The funny thing is that this is precisely the Lauren I love best. My inimitable lady.
