I flew to Los Angeles Thursday night with my friend Donna, and I taped a small segment for the daytime medical show "The Doctors". They sent a field producer and camera crew to my house a few days before I went to LA, and they spent EIGHT hours taping footage. The segment is supposed to air on Friday afternoon. And that is all I can say about it! Not supposed to talk about it before it airs!

Donna and I flew back to Boston on Saturday afternoon---just a quick jaunt to California and back! The producers had wanted to send me back on Friday afternoon, but I got them to throw an extra night in, thank goodness!

Well, I did get my own dressing room, but that's about it. There were no white roses or brown M&M's. They forgot to make sure my hotel room decor was all white, too. Guess they lost the memo.
