(Side note: If you&#8217;ve read my book, you know I spent a good part of my early twenties working\u00a0in film production, and the better part of my life in a\u00a0movie theater.\u00a0Lost in Translation is one of my favorites. When I got the invitation, I needed to lie down and have Daniel place a cold washcloth on my forehead. OK I&#8217;m realizing now that this is not a side note; it&#8217;s a paragraph.)\u00a0The party was beautiful, lively, and just so warm with\u00a0love for Julia.
