Cat Nap and other misnomers

Welcome To My Purr-fect World
I love to write about FUN THINGS like wine (“CHEERS!”), my cats (“No, no, not on the rug”), what grows (or sometimes doesn’t) in my garden, Phyllis Diller (for whom I used to work). and interesting stuff that happens around the neighborhood.
I hope my stories will make you smile and perhaps bring back some good memories of things you have enjoyed. I’m going to try to share things about wine that you might not know (I’ll have to do a lot of research, won’t I?) and if you’re a cat person, I’m guessing some of my cat’s antics will resonate with you.
I’d love to hear about your Purr-fect World and look forward to reading your comments.

BEYOND THE SPOTLIGHT
When I worked for Phyllis Diller (and what a trip that was!) she often said, “Robin, you should write a book.” After I did, I sent it to her and she endorsed it as only she could. (See the cute little sticky on the cover?) If you remember watching her on television, or if you get a kick out of the behind-the-scenes glamour of show-business, you will enjoy my adventures with Phyllis, on the road, beyond the spotlight.When you order my book from Amazon and write a review, I will send you a video of the true story behind Phyllis Diller’s famous appearance on “This Is Your Life,” A story that only 3 of us knew – Phyllis, her publicist, and me. And even though I was sworn to secrecy, it’s been 40 years, so I think the statute of limitations on promises has expired. (Besides, I’m the only one of the three left to tell it.)
