Oprah’s Secret Hiding Place
April 18, 2012 § 9 Comments
I know, I know. She no longer has a show or a book club. But she’s still Oprah, and I still can’t deny myself this one last Hail Mary *
One day two weeks ago, the air fragrant with stealth and literary possibility, The Phoenix and I went to the foothills of Montecito and buried a copy of Blue Asylum for Oprah.
We marked the burial site with a circle of stones (shape of an O, get it?). Thoughfully, we left her a shovel (Someone stole it).
We then created a diversionary site to throw off curious hikers-by. The Phoenix paced off the distance from the hiding place to the trail head and then went home to begin work on a map.
The ad in Oprah’s hometown paper, the Montecito Journal, runs full-page color this week (thank you Kelly Beck-Byrnes). I will keep you posted on the progress of this epic quest.
*Unless it doesn’t work. Then there might be one more last Hail Mary. Ideas welcome!

Please post the restraining order, when it arrives.
You misspelled “Oprah” in the ad.
Ha! Made you look. 🙂
If I were Oprah, I’d pimp you. I’m not Oprah, and I pimped you. Now my friends think I’m smarter than I am. Take a lesson, Oprah!
Oh you are so in! Don’t forget Oprah still has a magazine. You are definitely in the May or June publication!!
Im with Becky. Do we need to prostitute our selves to obtain your bail money,and money for a lawyer? Ill keep my eyes on the legals in the paper.
I think I saw Oprah driving today on East Mountain heading up Cold Springs. She appeared to be on a mission…
Perhaps you should have given more “thoughT” to this, or at least asked your proofreader to preview it. (Or was it a deliberate ploy to keep me feeling needed?)
Sorry I stole your shovel.
My shovel is your shovel, my friend.
