Most of those guys are donating with the express promise of anonymity and privacy.

Sometimes. But many actually donate with a Willing to Be Known designation. I know nothing about what ita referenced, I just know there are a fairly large number of donors who get selected because they are willing to be known. It's harder to sell sperm of donors who wish to remain permanently anonymous.

I also think it would be perfectly understandable for a child from donation to want to know their donor because there are things they can't ever know without meeting the man.

For a completely random and different topic: We just had dinner in Sherman Oaks. Halle Berry came in after us and was waiting for table. With some scruffy white guy (no idea who he was). Anyhow, I can now testify that even in jeans and sandals, she is actually quite gorgeous though taller than I'd thought she would be.

though taller than I'd thought she would be.

Models tend to the tall side. Especially if they did any runway work.

I am (pardon the cliche) so freaking trashed. Got to see the GEE and the WWWHMTE (Woman With Whom He Moved To Europe) and several other people I haven't seen in ages. Had an excellent time. Totally trashed the diet. Am closing one eye to be able to focus appropriately on the screen. So much fun!

But no Halle Berry. I lose.

Halle wasn't tall, just not munchkin-sized, like most actresses. Very thin, of course.

Terry Kinney shared his dinner with me tonight.

HA! Check out my degrees of Kevin Bacon! [link]

Leonard Roberts (Forrest) was at our restaurant.

Celebrity dinner smackdown!

Um, I had a chocolate-chip cookie. That's as far as I can go in searching for something to post in order to wave to lori.

Hey! So did I! Just now! Nilly and I are sharing a mind, which is kinda neat... but I don't understand all the math (or the Hebrew for that matter). Oh, and you wouldn't believe the dirty thoughts she has... wait, sorry, those are mine.
