Photos from L.A.

That's Lynne Fuqua at the piano. Near her apartment is one of L.A.'s best breakfast spots, Nick's (Harriet in right foreground -- click to enlarge). I was astounded to see S.O.S on the menu ("shit on a shingle," a military staple -- creamed chipped beef on toast). I joked with the waiter that in the army I'd bitch, Not S.O.S. again -- and here I am ordering it in a restaurant! On our last day south, we enjoyed great weather while strolling the walk at Venice Beach.
