Hi!

You must think I am nuts for not calling....I have not been alone to two seconds all day.

Went to anti-aging doctor Dr. Ban Bohn for second time this morning. I MUST discuss with you asap...guy is very interesting.

On Madison 59/60.... Ile is very interesting...already feel better. Was there all morning. He exrayed my neck and spine...have some degeneration in neck...got a massage from an Hungarian who massages all the top tennis players incl. Andy Roddick.

Went to office. Calling academy members all day to vote...

Went to Rockleigh with Manic to see mother...she was almost glad to see us, but fading. My sister in law went to see her this morning and she was sitting in a chair crying. By afternoon, she was alert and conversing with us.

Went to Georgette Mosbachees for fancy political dinner about mid-east...Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt, Pakistan and China, Russia and USA politics. I was asked to give the Oscar report in the middle of it all. It was hilarious and sort of comic relief from real life and sensational.

John Mack, Lou Dobbs, Carl Icahn, ex-ambassador from Lebanon, son of assassinated leader of Pakistan, Ed Rollins, Elaine Wynn (ex of Steve)...all there.

Carl said there will be a shill of power in near future when we no longer need oil from mid-cast because we have shale in Ohio. mid-west. Canada and Mexico where we arc developing the technology to get oil out of shale....and we have plenty of it. There will be a hugh shift in power. Saudi Arabia etc will be irrelevant to us. I had no idea what he was saying although I did recently see a 60 minutes piece all about this new oil exploration/extraction from dirt.

Will call tomorrow.
xoxo Peg

Have dinner for Geoffrey Rush tomorrow at 7:30pm at The Mandarin Hotel for 150 filmmakers.
