I always love Billy Crystal’s Oscar openings and I’ll be watching in anticipation tonight hoping that he might give a shout out to my Mom who will celebrate her 23rd birthday on Wednesday, (that’s 92 in leap years).  Mom shipped boxes of her infamous cookies and pastry to the scoring sessions of “City Slickers” and “Mr. Saturday Night”.  A few years ago, trundling along on the moving walkway in some airport, I saw Billy trundling my way in the opposite direction.  As I raised my hand and smiled to get his attention, he looked up and matter-of-factly shouted as he passed by, “Tell your Mom I’m low on cookies!”

For anyone else who’d like to send her a note, she’s changed her email…because it’s the hip thing to do:  harmdor1@gmail.com
