The cellphone as a pox on the planet ... I agree, ksquared. It's a technological wonder that was thrust upon civilization without any rules of etiquette, resulting in otherwise good people talking loudly into the gadget in all sorts of public situations without the slightest pretense of being discreet about it. However, I must confess to owning a cellphone, which I keep in the trunk of the car to call AAA when the car won't start or breaks down. And I now use it to make all long-distance calls because it's so much cheaper. Otherwise, it's quietly in the trunk of the car not bothering anyone.
Four years is a long time not to return to your old stompin' grounds in NYC. It's been about that long since I've been to the office building where I worked for many years .. just lost interest in going back after awhile. I've never been to NYC, although I did see it from the air when making a stop at the Newark airport. Since I wasn't aware of the proximity of the airport to NYC, it was quite a surprise to look out the window and see the Twin Towers and Statue of Liberty.
What was your role in the theater business? I'm sure you must've talked about it in the past, but I don't have a recollection of it.
With the storm moved out of the area today, it was a scorcher of a summer day. In the early evening, it certainly was warmer than the 70 degree weather you were enjoying while listening to your tunes.
Have a good Friday.
