On my way back from Boston I had a layover in the very nice Memphis Airport and an awesome bar-b-que sandwich and coleslaw (on it, of course) at Jim Neely’s Interstate Bar-B-Que…

It’s strange to find myself in Boston on Mother’s Day weekend. I’m speaking to students and alumni at my old high school Beaver Country Day (scene of Mother’s arrest at my sister’s graduation).
My old self, Wendy Rea, dreaming of Broadway. And despite everything, ten years later that’s where I ended up in the Heidi Chronicles. I talked to the students about Chanel and surviving a homelife I’d tried to conceal. I think it’s important for kids, for people, who may think they’re alone in that situation to know that they’re not and that they can come through it and achieve what they hope to achieve.

She of the “rock and roll lifestyle”!
My friend Amy Wachtel, the Parliament smoking, Camaro driving rock-n-roll grrl from BU and WBCN, who was locked in our bathroom for eight hours and then told the world of Boston rock about it with me in New York. She’s still a rock and roll chick. Check out her “Night Nurse” radio show at www.radiolily.com

Jesus Christ Superstar!
One of Mother’s London boyfriends, a TV producer named Herb Sargent, swept us all off to a Wings concert one night, and Robbie and I sat in the booth. We didn’t get to meet Sir Paul (Mother did), but we did get to meet Ted Neeley, who we recognized as super cute Jesus in the film of “Jesus Christ Superstar”. We had only played the record a million times, so it was a huge thrill for us!
Just a week until Mother’s Day and look what Amazon suggests when you ask for a gift!
Grateful to be in such wonderful company!
