Six Degrees of Separation

Yesterday, I was watching The View and one of the guests was Nora Ephron. Yes, THE Nora Ephron. You may not know the name, but you certainly know her work... "Sleepless in Seattle", "When Harry Met Sally", "You've Got Mail", "Meg Ryan".. need I say more?

As I watched her and listened to her banter ... I was mesmerized. Not only does this woman write great movies and books, but she and Barbara are good friends.

Now, let's go back about 12 years... my husband (at the time) EJ was pursuing a career in screenwriting...at least that's what he told me.

A dear friend and co-worker (Peggy D/B) was always supportive and enthusiastic about EJ's talent and she knew Nora. Peggy D/B contacted Ms. Ephron about EJ and his screenwriting endeavor. Ms. Ephron was, in turn, very gracious, helpful and insightful.

When I saw Nora E. on The View, I knew that I was only 2 people away from Barbara Walters!If I go any further I'll probably have to meet Kevin Bacon as well... My plan is to be in NYC on September 29th, so I've got a little more than a month to connect the dots.

I've got to call Robin (my business partner in a previous iteration of this life). Maybe she knows where Peggy is these days. Weird thing is that last night I actually had a dream about Peggy. She was in town decorating Quinn's house. The mind works in mysterious ways...
