Who Doesn't Like To Romp And Stomp?

Modeled after the highly successful Race for the Cure®, the Tubbs Romp to Stomp out Breast Cancer consists of a 3k or 5k snowshoe walk or a 3k snowshoe race.

My fantastic friend Gitty participated today and I asked her to represent someone very close to us as she did it.

That's the gorgeous Gitty and in case you can't see the sign she's wearing:

That should make it clear.

This is the organization if you'd like to learn more, donate, or participate in the future:

Thank you, Gitty, for keeping our girl close to you today.

They Say "There's Someone For Everyone"

Like, for instance, take this happy couple:

Bliss, right?

I mean, I like to hope there's someone for everyone. I'm trusting there is. (There better be?)

So by that logic, the person who is selling this real taxidermy frog playing a guitar:

…would hopefully have someone who wants to buy a real taxidermy frog playing a guitar.

And so he does.

There is one bid:

I want to know who sells a real taxidermy frog playing a guitar.

I also want to know who is in the market for a real taxidermy frog playing a guitar.

But for now, I'll just take comfort in the fact that they found each other.

Happily ever after.

(And please don't let my fate be that I was supposed to buy it… and then kiss the frog… and he'd turn into a prince and THEN I'd finally have my happily ever after.)

The King's Speech Was More Personal Than You Think...

I was lucky enough to attend a screening last night of The King's Speech, which had a Q&A afterward with the writer (who had just been nominated that very morning) and cast member, .

The movie was, of course, fantastic, but what was even more fantastic was the man who wrote it, a man who himself overcame a stutter (the difference between "stutter and "stammer" was discussed and apparently "stutter" is American and "stammer" is British.) They call it a stammer in the film. Mr. Seidler calls himself a stammerer. Not "someone who used to stammer," but a stammerer in the present tense. He says it's always there, behind everything he says — he's just learned to master the tricks of the trade.

When asked what he was doing when the nominations were announced, he said he was half-awake in his bed. Then he joked of his dream-of-the-century reality, "I'm still waiting to wake up!"

David Seidler is 73 years old. And he came to Hollywood at the age of 40. Which is heartening beyond belief. There is so much ageism in this industry that to hear of someone who began his journey into a near-impossible business at that age gives hope, hopefully to many.

This is Mr. Seidler:

This is his first nomination. 

Hey Caprice! I wrote a post on Tumblr today, and I wrote a little bit about how one of your books had a big effect on me. I know we have some online friends in common, and I figured it would eventually get back to you, but I decided to send

Thank you for sending this message because it did not get back to me and I'd never have known that you wrote it. Max is about the same. We won't go back to the vet for 3 more weeks.

Social media is indeed a wondrous thing. And, yes, we are in this together.

Not only do I forgive you for losing your copy of my book, if you send me your name and address I would love to replace it for you.

Thanks for being a sweetie, my new virtual friend. xoxo
