Gilda kind of choked up a little bit there when they were saying goodbye. Her getting a little emotional kind of made me verklempt. I miss her.

Is this why Paul Simon asked to push back his chair a bit? For stage blocking and lighting perhaps? Sideways talk. What a sweetheart. Sweet stuff.

Gilda Radner either had a gift from god, or _was_ a gift from god. I think it was how natural she was, how unaffected. You could not _not_ like her. I mean, look at her telling these silly bullshit stories about the book and totally disarming everyone while doing it.
