I stop when I come to my favorite standby: Law & Order: Criminal Intent, even though I’ve seen almost all of them-including the reruns.
After a grueling day of back-to-back patients, I’m a few minutes away from being comatose, but I’m also hungry, which is why I’m channel-surfing and waiting for my pizza to get here. It’s another exciting Friday night, and I’m curled up in bed-alone, of course-propped up by a sea of pillows, still in my lab coat, the sash so taut it’s suffocating the purple silk dress beneath it, but I don’t care. Here, in this exclusive excerpt from I Almost Forgot About You (Crown, $27), we check in on the wise doctor, who is slowly checking out on life. She does it once again with Georgia Young, a Bay Area optometrist revisiting her past to move forward with her future. Whether it’s Mildred from Mama (NAL), Savannah, Gloria, Bernadine and Robin from Waiting to Exhale (Signet) and Getting to Happy (Signet), the Price family from A Day Late and a Dollar Short (NAL) or so many others, Terry McMillan’s invented folks become real-life friends in our heads and hearts.
