At the studio

I arrived at the studio and chatted with a woman who had flown into the studio from New Orleans.  She had a terrible time.   Her flight was three hours late, the hotel room reserved by the airline was not available but her credit card was charged, the new hotel room was dirty.  "I just feel like going home!" she moaned.  In the holding area at the studio, I sat across from a woman who laughed loudly and annoyingly and who complained that she was hungry.  Irritated with her, I felt like speaking up and saying, "It's a wonderful opportunity to come to a taping.  If you prefer to eat, then stay home!"  I attended a premiere of the new show "Iyanla, fix my life" and a taping of Oprah Lifeclass."  The subject of both was the devastation and destruction of family secrets.....the revelation that someone's parent is not his biological parent, staying quiet about sexual preference, money secrets from a spouse.  Shed a few laughs and tears and clapped my support  My son and I met two of his friends for appetizers, sushi and wine.   A wonderful evening.
