I need a writing partner.  It's the missing link.  I need someone to talk out the idea and then blow it up.  Remember it was Seinfeld and Larry David.  Now I need to find Seinfeld.... where do you look?  Maybe I should take a class.  I once took a sitcom writing class with a creepy old guy who won an Emmy for All in the Family as the teacher.  He invited me to lunch and then back to his apartment on Beekman St.  I'd never been to an apartment on Beekman St but I always associated it with  this movie/book, Auntie Mame that I loved as a kid (still do).  So I decided to go and check it out as an investigative research assignment (this used to be my rationalization when I used to do very stupid things - ie.  be the only girl at an afterhours party in Bed Stuy before it was cool).  Well I wasn't impressed at all!  He lived in the left overs of an apartment that had been combined with the apartment next door.  The whole place was decorated with pictures of him and Gloria, Meathead, etc.  On the mantle was a framed note reading "Thanks for the flowers, Kat Hep" as in Katherine Hepburn.  The memorabilia  made it worth the trip but there was no way I was having an affair with a 68 year old before I went to the apartment and with only 1 window facing an alley I wasn't changing my mind.  Next class he showed up with hair plugs!
