Well, there were a lot of guys on the streets last night wanting us to be their friends(and give them some bucks). The last timeI was here there were some very friendly ladies up on Times Square but I suspect they were also looking for some cash.

Also: are the streets all paved with diamonds, and is there just so much to see?

Ummm.... I think it was New Amsterdam before they named it New York.
I've been at Santa Clara University, which is in the City of Santa Clara, which is in the County of Santa Clara. That place is so good they named it three times!

Anyway I'm now back in the slightly cooler, quieter environs of Sandwich, MA.

It ain't his to give, it's an oldie but goodie A version of this is used as a running gag / plot element in PTerry book "Johnny and the Bomb". Except it is a burger, not a pizza. And it's a Muslim not Budda but that's the joke.

That's why I asked - I didn't know if I'd have to attribute it to anyone.

Me too.
I knew the word already (my mom used long words too), but by an interesting coincidence I remember that the word "apocryphal" was a vocabulary word in 11th grade English not long before I ran across it in the book.
Don't ask me why I still remember the 11th grade in such detail... I don't get me, either.

Me also. I am a mom (sorry, mum - still in usa mode) who uses long words I guess (I mean, suppose.)

Just returned from Florida which gets my vote for "%$*&!! hot", the outside temperature thingy on the car said 115F at one point yesterday, you know you're losing your reason when you become aware that if someone were to approach you and offer the choice between a case of champagne or a small bottle of iced water, you'd go for the water.

Great breakfasts. How about pancakes with strawberries, whipped cream, strawberry sauce and BACON! Looked delicious. OK, was delicious, I tried it.

Never been to Florida but been to TX and LA at this time of year - similar temps and humidity that just drains you. Much cooler in Massachussets (about 75F) and chucking it down at the moment.

I wouldn't thank you for champagne at the best of times; can't abide sparkling wine of any sort. I take the point, however

You've got to, haven't you? After a couple of days you fall back to the just pigging out a bit rather than the Mr Creosote style excess but it's fun for a while.

I don't normally put my name - that post was done using Google from a PC in a Starbucks (on 42nd Street!) so it wasn't an automatic sig. I used to have Dave on my bio and I think I signed the Xmas cards as that. Who knows? Who cares? It seems very odd to give a bundle of vague sensory perceptions a name.

Odd, that's how hot it was here day before yesterday... well, 114, but still. What makes that odd is that I live in washington. a place known for eing COLD and RAINY.
it must be summer. I never could get the hang of summer. -- Gaz send moneySUBLIMINALsend money.sigsend money Message stops here -->
