Be Me Eyes Gloria

Last night was the wrap party for my Recognized-by-the-State-of-California-Domestic-Partner Adam's television show, Still Standing.

Being a family friendly show, the party is often held at a bowling alley in Studio City. Bad food. Decent booze.

On Still Standing, Sally Struthers plays Bill's mother. She was having a blast at the party, maybe drinking a lot. Most certainly, she was yelling at the top of her lungs like a wild woman in positive response to everything. She invited us to bowl in her lane. Being that it was pretty full, we bowled next to her. Adam made a strike. Sally was so happy for him, she hugged him, and then lifted him into the air, completely off his feet.

Sally Struthers is a strong woman.

It's funny to think of them having a party at a bowling alley. They sound like computer programmers, not movie stars. I think Sally is great in that part. It's so funny to think of my little brother glued to 'All in the Family' and now he's writing for Sally Struthers!

Last month, here at the Walker Art Center in land-locked Minneapolis, Minnesota, someone told me they heard Sally Struthers was in the Chuck Close exhibition. I was the only one in my office who cared and I did indeed stalk her for a while. It was fun. I'm always reminded of Barbara Stolarik when I see her. I don't know why.

Bowling was my phys ed in college. That, and billiards. Can you imagine?

Good luck to Adam in his next and future projects!
