Last night we went to the Pink & Black Tie Gala for the American Cancer Society. Our friend Stacy invited us to sit at her table and we had a wonderful time. We are not all that experianced at attending fancy charity benefits so we were like a couple of wide-eyed kids
They had a cocktail party to start on the terrace at the Steiner Studious where the event was held. In then cocktail party area they had a bunch of donated items with little clipboards where you would sign up with you bids for the item. We bid on a couple of things and when we went to settle up the volunteer said "Oh we have a whole bunch of stuff." It seems we won almost every bid. Which was fine because it was great stuff and for a great cause. We have been to two wakes already this year for people who have died of cancer. So anything we can do to help is fine with me.
And we got some great stuff.

You're a great man, Herr Trooper!
I donate to that sort of stuff all the time, yet I've never been to one.
This is great! It's so neat to think of you hanging with Stacy. I'll bet there was plenty of laughter at your table. Glad you're enjoying yourselves.
Oh! This reminds me of something I meant to tell you the other day. Did you see that Clinton is going to be on a new, daytime, network talk show starting, I think, this fall? He's joining three celebrity chefs (Carla Hall, Michael Symon and Mario Batali) on a show called "The Chew." No lie.
