ABOUT 9 YEARS AGO

I'm oddly upset about Natasha Richardson.

Nine years ago, I was exiting the car park in St. Tropez. This was not any car park mind you, this was the swishy car park, in reality a condo car park! One could buy a space so that when one went into town one always had a space, but I digress.

I was exiting said car park on my way to meet some people for dinner. I looked up and my entire field of vision was enveloped by the most glamorous couple I had ever seen in my life. It was Natasha and Liam. I knew they frequented St. Trop, as Ms. Richardson's father had a house not far from S T. I'd just never seen them.

I don't know why I found them so intriguing. I'd certainly seen enough celebrity in my years in ST to not be awed by star power. However, I remember talking about seeing them to anyone who would listen to me for weeks! They exuded something and as I passed them I was touched by it. The other thing I remember was that they were engaged with what was going on around them. They acknowledged me with a nod, and perhaps this is why this incident sticks with me even today.

Hope the situation changes and Ms. Richardson pulls through.

MANAGING UP

One of my favorite bloggers wrote this and I think it sums up for many of us our own experiences dealing with "bosses." Thanks Woodstock!
