For those who may remember long ago dear reader Panni (aka Anna Sandor), she passed away a couple of hours ago. We were friends for a time until she became a little too nutty for me, so she then insinuated herself with my cousin and they've remained friends, which is fine. I saw her at a few cousin dinners, but that's about it. She left the site around 2004, maybe? Cousin wrote me last night to say Panni had been sick for the last eight months, gone down to eighty pounds (although I don't think she ever weighed more than ninety), has been in hospice and hospital and last night they told her they had to operate but that it was probably way too dangerous and she chose for them to let her die. Daughter Rachel was there with her.
Tried to watch an episode of The Avengers from 1955 with a very young Diana Rigg, but in the move the remote for the DVD player is missing, so that was a frustrating experience.
Nile Rodgers (not Niles as I wrote earlier) was amazing. And I got to see him twice. We got to be in the room for the soundcheck, which turned into a mini concert for some very high donors.
