Hey, Darren, I’m having trouble keeping up with you!

Re: name alerts. I can’t remember what Vishnik is — it might be liquor of some sort. Ecinreb is easy — it’s Mom, Bernice. And Nodrog — I can’t even begin to imagine.

1) Scuzz et al were mostly figments of my imagination. I was 17 when I first got to New York, and I looked  twelve!  2) Burger King was more like it. Ir McDonalds. When they got a lot of snow, which was rare, Big Macs could be had for a quarter, provided you could walk there and order one. Snow removal was nonexistent in the Village.  3) My eldest is in a job where writing and communication are his thing. The other 2 are still in college. All 3 are good writers, but it’s too soon to say if anything will develop along those lines.

I’m pleased that you’re enjoying what you read so far. Or that you’ve determined to read all of it!        –Gord–
