I haven’t seen it yet but my profile of Evan Handler ran in yesterday’s Page Six Magazine. If you have access to the issue, please read it and let me know what I said. Just kidding, I remember what I said. Anyway, Evan Handler played/plays Harry, Charlotte’s husband, in Sex and the City, lest you are like, “wait, why do I know that name?” And here’s a tidbit/ factoid that didn’t make it into the story (because I didn’t put it in there) : When we went to take our seats at Hugo’s I asked him where he wanted to sit and he chose a seat in front of a bookshelf that had geodes displayed in it. “Ah, you’re keeping your back to the geodes! Very smart,” I said, because sometimes I say things like that. “What?” he asked. I repeated. “Oh! I thought you said I was keeping my back to the jew,” he explained. “Nope. Geodes, geodes,” I said like someone with geological tourettes. They were magnificent geodes, by the way. Sparkly and devout.

    See as a Sicilian i have a problem facing my back to geodes, you never know when one may get up and stab you right in the back.

    This reminds me of when I got to interview Stephan Hawkins and he decided to sit next to the electrical socket.

    I saw it. Very well written article!!

    I didn’t realize he had leukemia. What an ordeal to go through. It’s great to hear he’s doing so well now.

    A good friend of mine has a young son (recently turned 4) who was diagnosed with leukemia on May 26 of last year. The technical name is Pre-B Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. The poor little guy has gone through a lot of treatments over the last 12 months, spent dozens of nights in the hospital and has been stuck with needles hundreds of times — but fortunately is doing much better now.

    He still takes daily medications (they created a spreadsheet to keep track of them all,) and he has to go in for monthly treatments, but all indications are that he will be fine.

    In other news, RUN:

    The second massive swarm of thousands of bees has been spotted in the city in just over a week and experts say it’s a sign the Big Apple could be overrun by drones this summer.

    I had no idea what a geode was till I saw this. If Alison had said that to me, I’d probably had thought something totally different, like, “she’s pretty, but I bet she one of those girls that sends long text messages on her Blackberry while she is working out on the treadmill.”
