Tomorrow night, maybe stroke victim and aging actor-author Charles Grodin toasts his most recent book, "If I Only Knew Then...: Learning from Our Mistakes," at Le Cirque. Sure it's a closed party but think of the possibilities! This might be your only chance to see Mr. Grodin chatting with the "friends and friends of friends" who contributed to this instaclassic. Friends like Alan Alda, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Carol Burnett, Walter Cronkite, Rosie O' Donnell, Ben Stiller and Goldie Hawn—who penned her own bestseller, "A Lotus Grows in the Mud," in 2006. Or it could just be Mr. Grodin all alone in a Christmas sweater eating stuffed mushrooms in the back room!
