I WAS traveling last week on my book tour and landed at the John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Calif. Because I am geographically challenged and probably need LoJack implanted under my skin, my publisher kindly provided a car to take me from the airport to the hotel. The car wasn’t there.

ABOUT seven months ago I was name-jacked. 

I hadn’t looked at my Web site in a while, but I figured that, with a novel coming out, I should bring it up to date. So I Googled deliaephron.com (I never had gotten around to bookmarking it) and it wasn’t there. Instead there was a message: This domain is for sale.

Our play, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, is closing in New York on March 25 after more than 1000 performances.

It has been the most remarkable creative experience -- a show about women and for women, written, produced, directed, and performed by women.   It's been so much fun.  A divine ride.  From the bottom of my heart I thank everyone who came.  I thank Ilene Beckerman for writing the book, and all the awesome actresses, 120, who brought it to life.  We were so fortunate in all our collaborators -- our remarkable, committed producer Daryl Roth, our inspired director Karen Carpenter, our friends who contributed their stories, and all the people who worked on the show at the Westside Theater.  I especially thank my sister and co-writer, Nora Ephron.  Sisterhood is powerful.  Love to all.

BANKS are eating up all the real estate in my neighborhood. I live on a basically residential street, and within three and a half short blocks of my house are eight banks: two Chase, one Wells Fargo, one Citi, one HSBC, one Bank of America, one Sovereign and one Capital One. Go two more blocks and there are 10 banks (one more Chase and one more Citi).
