Kate seems surprised, perhaps because she’s never seen me arrive early for anything, including our wedding. This is one appointment, though, that I don’t want to miss. I am fairly certain that I have information that Ronnie Sax’s potential legal team does not possess. Richmond can be a small place, especially if you’ve lived here your whole life and have had dealings with everyone from the governor to guys like Awesome Dude. LAST NIGHT I got another call from Cindy Peroni. My hope was that Cindy was calling to tell me she could not live a minute longer without me. That didn’t happen, but she did that thing the reporter in me always hopes people will do. She told me something I didn’t know already. “I saw your story in the paper, about the Tweety Bird Killer, and I thought something sounded familiar.” It turns out that one of Cindy’s friends in the between-husbands set is Mary Kate Kusack Brown. Mary Kate is two years younger than her brother and, unlike him, never saw fit to change her last name until she got married.
