I get a Paypal donation, but not from Tom LaBonge.

The day they started to refill Silver Lake I got an interesting email. Patt Morrison had read my blog and wanted to interview me on her KPCC show about the one year commemoration of the Griffith Park fire!! Quel honor! I can’t tell you how pleased I am when readers stay more than a few minutes here, and I saw that Minneapolis Public Radio had read for a good 40 minutes, so I was thrilled, but still so surprised at the invitation.

Unfortunately, I got the note very last minute, and couldn’t do it, but fortunately they got the lovely and talented Bernadette Soter of the PROS committee,  to do us right.

Also: I got my first Paypal donation! Yay me and him! I told a friend and he said, “Oh, it must have been from Councilman Tom LaBonge, huh?”

I laughed hysterically.  As most bloggers know, even good friends don’t always READ your blog, or my friend would understand something about my relationship with LaBonge. But more importantly, my friend just assumed that since he himself finds me fascinating, worthy, and cleverly persuasive, that my councilman would feel the same way, and WOULD WANT TO SUPPORT ME IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, INCLUDING DONATIONS!!

See, not everyone in the community has lost their innocence about the city council!
