PATRICIA MILLER?’S BIRTHDAY PARTY
It was under a canopy in the park by the Cove with great eats catered by Alphonsos, a mariachi band and valet parking. Does that sound like a great way to turn 50 or what? Happy Birthday Patricia!

GINA WRIGHT WRITES
Our own Gina Wright?’s Gina?’s Garden piece in this month?’s D?©cor & Style, distributed throughout the BT tells us a charming story of how the Wright?’s solved a space problem. Andrew, you see, is also a writer. He is also an artist and hoped for one of the bedrooms as his studio in addition to the room in the guest house where he writes. This was the same space that Gina coveted. She speaks in her article of her friend ?“Madeline?” who we assumed to be her near neighbor from Belgium, gorgeous Madeline Eisen. Madeline assisted in reaching a compromise. Do we have three homophones in one paragraph?

BARBER TRACT TAX COLLECTOR?
Elizabeth Gealy sent her $35 to the Barber Tract Tax Collector. The check cleared.

TSUCHIDA?’S RESTAURANT PERMITTED
After eleven months of trying, Hitoshi and Terri Tsuchida have a building permit to construct their Japanese Restaurant on the small lot on Fay next to the Hard Rock Caf?©. Contractors are bidding. Construction will start in the spring.

JEAN BRUCE?’S GRANDDAUGHTER ON TV
She is Paz de la Huerta. She?’s just fifteen. Lives in Manhattan with her parents and will be a special guest actress in the popular Law and Order on February 24th next.

VANITY PLATES ON JAGUARS
The new red Jaguar at the Zeman?’s place has a plate that reads ?“DR JAZY?”. The Jag was the present of Mike to Jill (AKA Jazy) on the occasion of her earning a Ph.D. in International Relations from the University of Southern California.
At Moxley?’s place on Olivetas her Jag bears California plates ?“HRH PLM?” We didn?’t want an official interpretation because we like our own that translates ?“Her Royal Highness, Priscilla Moxley?”.
