The other two writers do a fine job. I enjoy both David Adams Ridchards, a Canadian writer who reads from his fishing memoir, Lines on the Water, and William J. Smith, a poet I recognize from Authors Guild meetings in New York. He is a wonderful performer.

Early morning pickup for Canada AM, their version of the Today Show. It�s a longish drive but I�ve had croissants and juice in my room. Without breakfast first thing I�m useless. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.

Back to the hotel for an interview with the Globe and Mail over a second breakfast! Adrienne tells me their Eggs Benedict are wonderful but I opt for cereal and fruit. The reporter doesn�t order anything.

12 PM
Taped TV interview: the Chronicle.
Sandwiches in the car on the way to another TV show.

3-4PM Dini Petty Show.
It�s her last show of the season and John Irving will also be a guest. I�m a big fan and am glad we have a chance to greet one another. We�ve been �doing� Toronto back to back. One TV host told me John showed his new tattoo on camera. I wonder if maybe I should get a tattoo. A washable one like Elliot uses to decorate himself.

There�s a live audience at Dini�s show. They hoot and clap on command but Dini is relaxed and the show is Fun!

By the time we get back to the hotel it�s 5PM. Adrienne insists on taking me out for an early dinner though I truly wouldn�t mind eating alone. She knows I have to be settled in my room before nine to see the final episode of Seinfeld.

I get back at 8:30, throw off my clothes, pull on the terry robe provided by the hotel, send down for a pot of tea and cookies and climb into bed to watch The Final Episode. When it ends I phone George so we can compare notes. I liked it more than he did. Then sleep....
