Popcorn, Don Johnson and Social-Climbing

The museum opening of the portraits by Jamie and me was at 6:00.  The tour organizer took Catherine and me around the Fine Arts Center at Cheekwood.  We tried to grab hot dogs, we were so hungry, but he whisked us away.  There was a staircase there brought from England.  The popcorn machine was at the top of it and Catherine and I went to get some, we were eating and talking and we noticed that the stairs were lined with people and then we realized that they were lined up because they thought it was a receiving line to meet me, because they saw me at the top.  We filled up some bags with popcorn and tried to get out, but then someone asked for some and I gave them a bag, and then I wound up giving autographs for an hour and a half.  Then dinner was served.

A few of the locals came, and Don Johnson, that cute actor we know from Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart, he’s a friend of Phil Walden’s.

Suzie Frankfurt came down to Nashville to social-climb.  She’d pre-written thank-you notes before she even got there and she made out well, she got on the front page with me instead of Catherine who didn’t step forward fast enough.
