[0:03] Right.
[0:04] This is very close to the Kremlin, this big hotel.
[0:07] All right, good.
[0:07] Well, then we probably can't miss it.
[0:09] And we can do this at the embassy, because they always know the best places, too.
[0:12] That's right.
[0:13] You know, and you just say what you want, and then they show you where to get it, or they get it.
[0:17] So that's good.
[0:18] That's right, Trish.
[0:29] It's like an ascot.
[0:31] I know what it is.
[0:31] My mother wore one for the last inauguration because it was so cold.
[0:34] Right, yeah.
[0:35] And it was beautiful on it.
[0:37] And it was disabled.
[0:39] Yes.
[0:39] So it's beautiful.
[0:52] Well, we're off tomorrow to England.
[0:54] So it's exciting.
[0:55] And the Annenbergs are giving me a party just before we
[1:06] And they have like a little party about every night.
[1:09] So we're doing that.
[1:11] And then Thursday we're going to 10 Downing Street for dinner.
[1:14] And they're having some carolers from Westminster Avenue.
[1:17] We'll give that heat our best.
[1:19] We will.
[1:20] We will.
[1:20] I know that you're friends.
[1:21] Right.
[1:22] So that's good.
[1:23] And tell Mrs. Ann, I just saw Mrs. Ann at NEP.
[1:27] Was it a luncheon with?
[1:29] Mrs. Ann is Ambassador Annenberg's sister.
[1:31] Right.
[1:32] Yes.
[1:32] Right.
[1:33] And she was in the emergency fund luncheon the other day with me.
[1:37] Oh, good.
[1:37] Well, I have to tell him that you saw her.
[1:40] Right.
[1:41] She's a nice person, too.
[1:43] Yes, she is.
[1:43] And very capable.
[1:46] Right.
[1:46] She does a lot of great things.
[1:47] Very much so.
[1:49] So that will be fun.
[1:50] And so we have a busy agenda.
[2:01] So that'll be fun.
[2:03] Give him my love.
[2:04] I will.
[2:04] And then we're going to Paul Getty's 80th birthday.
[2:08] He's that old.
[2:09] But we're going right after the dinner at 10 Downing Street.
[2:15] So we'll just get in for the tail end of that.
[2:17] But I think that'll be fun.
[2:18] Oh, it will be.
[2:19] See him on his 80th birthday.
[2:20] It will be fun.
[2:21] Well, we know, you know, Mr. Cox at Popcox knows him.
[2:24] This is Light, who's his ex-wife, but the mother of his sons.
[2:27] And I still think they get on very well together.
[2:30] Oh, do they?
[2:31] They get on very well together because he admires the way she's brought up one of the boys.
[2:36] That's very interesting.
[2:38] It is.
[2:38] It is good.
[2:39] Her husband's dead now.
[2:41] She's a widow again, and Geddy Light is.
[2:44] And we see quite a lot of her.
[2:46] We were at a dance together just a couple of weeks ago, and Geddy's a nice person.
[2:51] Oh, that's good.
[2:52] Yeah.
[2:52] That's good.
[2:54] It sounds interesting and we'll have to tell you all about it when we get back.
[2:59] Okay?
[3:00] You do.
