OMG!!!!!!!
Well, this was certainly a dream come true!  I called Kakki this morning to
see if she wished to have lunch- and of course, she most graciously agreed.
After a bit of sightseeing, we decided on a restaurant.  Kakki had a tuna
melt, I had a shrimp Louie salad- relevance of this to be revealed in a
moment!
We were almost finished when all of a sudden I see Kakki's mouth drop to the
floor and I'm feeling kicks on my shin!!  Sure enough, there was our goddess
seated at the table next to us!!!  Who cares that Paula Abdul was sitting at
the one behind us!!!
Needless to say, I am still in complete shock!  I'm thinking how are we
going to make this happen, what do I say, do I ask for a picture???  Kakki,
being the quintessential LA woman, said to just cool my jets, and we will
see what happens.  Kakki already mentioned how it happened, and all I can
add is that JM was sooooo incredibly gracious, friendly, from the heart and
interested.  And man, can she talk!!!!
So the food connection!  Joni ordered a shrimp Louie to start, and then a
tuna melt!!!!!!  Signs in the heavens?
perhaps more later, but it was, of course, a life-long dream come true.

After we left, Joni did a little shopping and we met again downstairs- I
told how I was so looking forward to seeing her again next month at
Harbourfront.  "Oh!  Are you going to be there?"  she says!!!!   DUH!!!  I
said that it was such a nice honour for her, and to be included with such
luminaries.  She was so gracious.

Enough for now, I have to see if one of Kakki's famous martini's will calm
me down now!

Best.
