One day, I was going up to see the "big boss" on 10, and I started to walk into his office just as he was sniffing something off his desk. It was as if the light bulb in my head went on. OMG, thought I... He's DOING DRUGS! Well, DUH! I backed out of his office & stood in the hall, my back flat against the wall, taking deep, deep breaths. He called my name , then added, "Hey, what's the matter? Where'd you go?" It all came to me at once... Not just the sniffling, but even why the execs all teased me every time I wore the little Lunt silver spoon pin I'd had since I was a kid.
