Just got an alert on my phone that the great Nora Ephron has passed away. Although I have never met her or else everyone I know would have heard the story about how I met Nora Ephron, I pretty much love everything she has ever written/directed. Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, I feel Bad About My Neck...the list goes on and on...and on and on. Her brand of humor was subtle and hilarious at the same time. Her book 'I feel Bad About My Neck' was definitely a memoir about getting older but for some reason, I could still relate to everything in it even though I was not forgetting where I left my keys and not forgetting what my ATM password was. Her comedic genius spanned generations and she will be missed. For sure.
Harry Burns: Had my dream again where I'm making love, and the Olympic judges are watching. I'd nailed the compulsories, so this is it, the finals. I got a 9.8 from the Canadians, a perfect 10 from the Americans, and my mother, disguised as an East German judge, gave me a 5.6. Must have been the dismount.
...Classic Nora
