Cantarabooks author, poet, novelist and television director Stephen Gyllenhaal (imdb.com/name/nm0350455) arrives to take us to lunch. Our son says he sounds like a Muppet character - quite a feat, considering his fraught relationship with his ex-wife, former Sesame Street producer Naomi Foner. Neither son Jake or daughter Maggie favor him in looks, his eerily boyish handsomeness (the man is 59, for God's sake) is all his own.
