* Miss Ross is putting on a free show in Greenwich. If I didn't think it would be a complete zoo and if I didn't have to work in the City on Thursday I would totally go because I'm sure it's going to be the craziest, campiest, glitziest thing ever.

* I sat down and was mesmerized by Bill Clinton tonight. I've met him, mind you, and he has such a bizarrely commanding presence and warmth. It somehow translates through the medium of television. I think I'll buy his book this week. Does that make me pathetic?

* Downtown Stamford continues to gussy itself up. It's changed so drastically in the nearly three years that I've lived here. It's really starting to develop "a scene" and I couldn't be happier about it. There's now a new 24 hour diner (where I had breakfast yesterday) to join the hyper-trendy restaurants and soon the ritzy Target will be completed.

* Made a totally impromptu trip yesterday to Dia: Beacon in Beacon, NY. It's an absolutely amazing building on the surprisingly mountainous banks of the Hudson. The more than 200,000 square feet of exhibition space allows them to show much of their large-scale collection. I absolutely adored the huge Serra sculptures and the impact of a dark Nauman installation.

* Went to see "Control Room" today at the lovely Avon Theater. I dunno. I wasn't bad. It was good, I guess. Its analysis was a bit, well, superficial and lacking. It was chilling, though, to see clips of W adamant that our P.O.W.'s be treated in accordance with the Geneva Conventions. Do as I say, not as I do...
