Hi, Nos! Was just looking at your McC website—funfunfun!!! I esp. liked the
picture of the C & PUs flyer you did for me. It still looks great! Off
the
subject: Main St. Theater is taking phone reservations for
"BBB" starting
Fri. (19th). They expect it to sell out (all those kids in the
cast & all their friends), so you should call soon. Jacob should really like
this one.
And wait till you see me in my Shelly Winters dress & dorky hats—did
someone say the word, "plotz"??? **** I’m sure i’ll think of
more stuff for
"Recent Additions", but here’s a start: ***Murray’s—how come
i didn’t know
about credit?? Mainly, i remember their chicken roll sandwiches, which
looked like something outta the Stage Deli & was about $3. ***
Cleopatra—didn’t you guys go there? You must have, ‘cause the first
time i
went there was with Marty, which was also my first falafel. Thanks, M, for
expanding my culinary horizons (not to mention my waistline)! Used to go
there a lot. Great cooking—cucumber soup, lamb w. string beans, King’s
Palace dessert (white bread soaked in red syrup—sounds terrible, tasted
better)-- good prices, and nice waiter from Ankara. *** Hatuey (pronounced
incorrectly as "hatch-away")--my first CCC ("Comidas Chinas y
Criollas")
place. ??Como se dice "greasy spoon" en espanol?? *** Snack King:
Wasn’t
that called "Burger King" at some point? Kept everyone going when
they
needed B&F’s in the middle of the night (wasn’t it 24 hrs.?) *** Lest
we
forget: EUROPA—i remember going there for breakfast with you, Bob, &
Suzanne. We were frequently not nice to one of the waiters (Nos prob.
remembers)(mainly laughing behind his back—oh, for the long-lost un-PC
days!!). **** Souen: Nos brought a bunch of us there when it first opened
circa ‘71--macro, just like it still is. **** Nos, are you still doing
garbanzos & canned (Armour?) Vienna sausage? To this day, you’re still
the
only person i’ve ever seen eating them (canned VS—i know it’s just hot
dogs, but it’s canned!!!). Chickpeas are acceptable. *** This would be a
good place to post the story about Bob, Suz., and me starving on FI, but
it’s already up someplace. *** Has anyone admitted remembering the names of
the FDR/WW pigeons? I know, but i ain’t telling (their descendants are all
over RI). *** I told you about Vera O. (MM’s ex-SO) winning a trip around
the world from Time-Warner Cable, didn’t i? What happened to her & JM?
***
I would have a copy of the warehouse trivia quiz somewhere if only i hadn’t
lost a lot of personal stuff when various people threw it out (i know i
saved it, since i wrote it—i think). *** This is something weird that
happened to me re Suzanne a few years ago. It was the middle of the night,
Christmas Eve (already Xmas). I was three-quarters asleep when i had 2
"visions" (i don’t know what else to call it). I know i was awake
and it
wasn’t a dream, because i kept opening my eyes to check. With my eyes
closed, i saw this: little pastel-colored squares (like pixels)(pink &
blue)(i think that these might be Nirvana—not the band—colors)(in chakras,
it’s peace & communication/third eye)moving inward to form a picture.
One
was a cat i had when i was growing up. The other was Suzanne. They were very
twinkly images—ethereal. I don’t have dreams like that. It was pretty
heavy—cried, etc. No kidding, Nos.—Gotta go.—love, k
