Not Nick Nolte's Diary, Malibu, California
August 16, 2005

Words

Manolo has a stranglehold on good advice Diary. The man makes Ann Landers look like a shadetree carnival pyschic. He bridged the recent gap between Constance and I with a simple game of hangman, the answer as always; I'm sorry. Yes Diary, even for me, sometimes the words just need a gentle push. As a thank you, I have laid down the track with some folks over at the Times to get him an advice column. Because of his tendancy for excitability I haven't told him yet, but it looks like we'll be fielding many a "Dear Manolo" letter here soon. Scotty is picking me up. He called and said he bought a new truck. I am pretty sure what to expect since he called on a CB. I'll act suprised nonetheless. 10 - 4.
