Cindy Adams Don't Dispair

Cindy,

I know you feel awful about forgetting your lines this morning on the Today Show but give it up. You do it better in writing and verbal reporting than most over the last 40 plus years. Every day when I pick up the New York Post, I really just don't know how you pour out that copy. You are amazing. You and Liz have done more accurate and continuous reporting in your lifetimes than many five journalists combined. Excuse yourself. You finally showed us your human side.

Love a Fan

Eliot Hess Warms Up Pedro's Arm

Pedro Martinez and Mike Piazza live in our condo building in Miami. It is always so weird to see them as ordinary people leading ordinary lives. We have seen Mike around a lot but just recently we have started to see Pedro over and over. After returning to our building Thursday night there was Pedro sitting on a cement bench right in front of the lobby chatting on the telephone. It was about midnight and we just finished celebrating Eliot's birthday at DeVito's with friends.

The minute I see either Pedro or Mike I get nervous because Eliot likes to recognizes celebs with either a handshake or a conversation. My daughter and I cringe because we feel like he is invading their privacy. Eliot takes on the persona like he is the famous one just giving the boys a little encouragement.

Again, Eliot couldn't help himself, after all it was his special day. We didn't know that Pedro was leaving Miami to meet the Mets in Cincinnati. Eliot gave Pedro the high five and Pedro took that ever sensitive, that ever so valuable, right hand, and high fived him back.

Whitney and I couldn't help but give each other looks of despair. Little did we know that Eliot was just helping Pedro train after being out all season because of rotator cuff surgery.
