I caught the end of Patt Morrison's AirTalk show (with substitute host David Lazarus) on Tuesday 12/16, KPCC, where he talked to Carrie Fisher about her new book, "Wishful Drinking".
Show, Blog

One of Carrie's comments made me think of Grant & Martha!

She described her marriage to Paul Simon. When they got along, they really "spoke the same rare dialect" -- but often they didn't. About the verbal shootouts they had when they didn't:
"We're both Word-Smith & Wesson kind of people."

Oh, she's great, isn't she? Wit of a nearly perfect pitch.
