Ciao, Bella!

I'm departing on the red-eye Thursday night for NY. Then, Friday night, Raul and I jet off to Rome where we'll rendezvous with some friends and drive down to the Amalfi Coast south of Naples. We're taking a villa in Positano overlooking the ocean (one of the most beautiful places in the world, imo) to celebrate our ten year anniversary.

Wasn't sure I was actually going to make it because my renewed passport didn't arrive until yesterday by Federal Express. Talk about cutting it close! Before I depart, though, I need to apply for a California driver's license and register my car because my NY plates and insurance expires while I'm in Italy. Off to do a smog check on my car during lunch ....

Ciao, ciao!

Celebrity sighting: Brian Austin Green ("Beverly Hills 90210") eating lunch next to me at Topz on Santa Monica Blvd.; producer Dan Jinks (American Beauty) and a former "Will & Grace" producer at the Arclight watching the movie Disturbia. Yesterday, however, I missed seeing the Governator and Rob Lowe who were eating in Disney commissary. We suspect Arnie was shooting a cameo for "Brothers & Sister."
