Wow, it’s been so long I have been looking forward to coming home. I love my home. I only got 3 hours sleep cause of the play and the early flight but had to catch that flight cause Ted and I had a long-planned lunch at his Ted’s Montana Grill. I am always so gald to see him, and he me. He is in fine form, healthy and happy and funny as always. One of the other perks of having lunch with him there is that so many of my dear friends that I don’t see so much these days are there regularly starting off with Teds youngest son, Beau. He was so exvited telling me about his Florida-based non profit, a program that brings disadvantaged youngsters into the outdoors to lean about the environment and wildlife. They are taught many things including how to fish. It has been so successful, Beau told me, that he is now working with the state. So proud of him. I also saw Mike Finley who runs Ted’s Family Foundation and Bob Biebel who is one of his financial advisors and George McKerrow who is his restaurant partner.

I went straight from lunch to a steering committee meeting for G-CAPP’s next huge event on May 1st.

We’ve come up with a fabulous idea for our spring fundraiser for the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention. May 1st, we’re taking over the GA Dome and we intend to break the Guinness Book of World Records to have the largest number of people working out together with me and other fitness celebrities and entertainers. It’s going to be an extraordinary fun time and we had our first steering committee meeting yesterday in my Atlanta loft. We will make this a viral experiencing by beaming it out to top fitness centers around the country. I am doing 3 or 4 new exercise “videos” (they aren’t videos anymore)come end of March and this event will be a sneak preview along with the fitness experts who will do other segments that are more challenging. It’s going to be wild. Why not come to Alanta and join us for a good cause. The prices will be within prople’s budget’s and school teams as well as fitness club teams can seek sponsorships.

Then, last night I took my grandkids and their dad to dinner at Agave’s.

Today I spent most of the time sorting out my files. The old (and drop dead gorgeous) offices were flooded 2 months aho when a pipe broke and movers were hired without knowlede to pavck us all up and it’s been topsy turvey ever since…a total mess as we have moved into much smaller space—me, my Fonda Inc office together with G-CAPP. It took almost 5 hours and I barely made a dent. Too bad …I’m headed back to Richard tomorrow. The rest of the files will have to wait till end of January when I return. Right now I am about to leave for dinner with my dearest pal, the great chef Scott Peacock. I have missed him so much. I will take a photo.

At dinner with my friend Scott Peacock. He is the chef at Watershed. Owned by the Indigo Girls. Whenever I have friends new to Atlanta I bring them to Watershed.
