We were friends with someone well-connected in Hollywood at the time and got invited to the opening of "Tootsie" at the Chinese Theater. Tina was just about to make her big comeback. We walked in on the red carpet right behind her. She was larger than life.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-42044130547143850112011-11-22T15:21:26.581+01:002011-11-22T15:21:26.581+01:00Imagine that...Cher and Tina Turner in the same vi...Imagine that...Cher and Tina Turner in the same video and the only 2 Divas we've seen live...now should we see Oprah? <br />Maybe... now exercise keeps the mind from disintegrating in to a useless blob...so get out there and walk...we do everyday...of course Sophie is the catalyst....do it or else!fromsophiesviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532257840856313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-22204976289130322522011-11-22T14:24:06.423+01:002011-11-22T14:24:06.423+01:00On my first trip to Seville, I went out on a boat ...On my first trip to Seville, I went out on a boat and got my first view of that magnificently elegant bridge from the water and passing under it. Absolutely stunning. Calatrava is a favorite architect of mine -- when he appeared at MIT, our Architecture school reserved a comfortable but moderately sized lecture hall for him to speak. Students were lined up through the halls and up stairwells. They had to use other rooms and video feeds for he overflow -- he was a hero to the students.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279473113628377106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-48496949127236387022011-11-22T11:27:08.239+01:002011-11-22T11:27:08.239+01:00Walt the Fourth:

That 30-45 minute walk through the vineyards, woods, and fields is a great daily exercise routine. If it weren't for the dog, we probably wouldn't do it and weigh many kilos more.<br /><br />As for working out, muscles and stuff, well, neither one of us is a gym person. I used to have a set of free weights at home that I'd use semi-regularly, but I never did enough to actually be able to kick sand in someone's face at the beach, if you know what I mean. ;)wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-36425580873774504272011-11-22T00:38:27.895+01:002011-11-22T00:38:27.895+01:00That bridge is one of the great designs by Santiag...That bridge is one of the great designs by Santiago Calatrava.Peterhttp://tippinthescales.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-68914457969502037662011-11-21T21:50:21.777+01:002011-11-21T21:50:21.777+01:00Chris:
