grumble

I am meeting Mr. Wrong tonight. Yesterday a friend from college e-mailed me and said that internet dating in NYC must be like finding a key at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.  I had to laugh.  Why I chose to meet on the east side is beyond me, but I can only hope that [...]

Shoes

While my computer room gets painted, I have no internet access in the evening.  Last night was the first night and I found it difficult.  But I managed.
I am also trying to manage to get used to my new shoes (above).  I have never worn a backless clog before and the advice I received was to [...]

Cien por cien

Our network server at work is corrupted and our internet access is sporadic. It is a productive day in the neighborhood. Ha ha.
No one is happy today. The Hispanic guy at the diner went off on some little immigrant, who didn’t know how to order his food. The little Mexican guy seemed to have suggested that [...]

Bed of lettuce

It’s the weekend before the Brooklyn half.  Yesterday we ran 8.35 miles in a 13:10 pace.  Today we ran 3.35 miles in a 12:30 pace.  My iliacus problem is nagging at me.  I finally realized this morning that I am not lifting my left (problem) leg that same way I am lifting the other leg.  [...]

Vee

It’s Friday.  Yup.
Last night we did 4 miles in a 11:38/mile pace–faster than usual. We were all huffing and puffing and wearing our summer gear.  It sucked during the run, but I felt good afterwards.  I ate two red velvet cupcakes yesterday so I needed to work some of that sugar off.  I have 8 days [...]

Paul!

I loved the Paul S show last night.  It was fun and raucous and interesting.  I was thinking of you because there were so many different styles of music in evidence, it would have been a great class.  I wish that it were clearer in my mind because my thoughts are a bit disconnected.
The guests included [...]

Has the moon lost her memory

Tonight I go hear Paul S1mon and friends at Br00klyn Academy of Music.  I am excited! 
I am feeling a bit better today.  I must admit that watching [Lord] Andrew Lloyd Webber give advice to the American Idols gave me several big laughs.  He was aghast that a dude in dreadlocks would be singing the song “Memory” [...]

Many concessions

Someone was giving me advice about dating or meeting people or SOMETHING.  The gist was that I should be polite, interested, sociable and not diffcilut to get along with.  I was aghast, “I go to work, I’ve remained employed, I am polite to my colleagues, I get along with the people there, and now you [...]

$30,000 walked into a bar…

I have returned from the Passover extravaganza. Much chicken soup, matzo balls, and pot roast were eaten. Tonight I will eat borscht.
In addition to the usual Passover stuff, my theme for the weekend was $30,000. Apparently the daughter of a friend of my mother is planning to have some type of fat r3moval [...]

Pesach!

In yesterday’s posting, I mentioned that I had received a real reply from em dot com.  I e-mailed the individual in question to say that I would be in touch when I returned from celebrating Passover.  I received another response from him.  It was a long reply.  My first (unfortunate, sexist) thought was, “what are you…A [...]
