It would be nice to take a U.S. tour stopping in Long Island, Virginia, Delaware, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, Iowa, North Dakota, Washington, Oregon, California and Arizona. I don't think I left anyone out. If I did it was unintentional.

That sounds like a nice trip

Re the early Labor Day, and thus the early unofficial September 1 end of summer season:  This will presumably be an interesting "test year' for whether the Jewish holidays really have the impact on Broadway box office that so many think it has, with the Jewish holidays not starting until the evening of Monday, September 29th.

One more "little thing" I won't be doing, purchasing a card for my mother on-law.  Sigh.

[DearReaderLaura]

The truth is, she has to stay with him regardless of what she wants; she needs health insurance.

[MBarnum]

And who knows, maybe Mrs. Edwards isn't a saint either.

The truth is, she has to stay with him regardless of what she wants; she needs health insurance.

It took me just a split second to realize that you were talking about Mrs. Edwards and not Mrs. Lassner.

[Jane]

DR Jane - vibes for your friend and for you for some peace of mind.

Thank you.  

Will you be returning to NY in October?  This is the same friend I canceled my last NY trip for.  This time I might go because of her.  Of course I'm hoping there is no need for me to go.

I'm glad you are taking care of your foot, vibes the trip doesn't do it any harm.

[Ben]

Hi, DR Ben!  I have to pick up some things at the FC front desk, so why don't we plan to get there about 11:30 - can they call you when we get there?  We're depending on bus transportation, so our timing might not be exact, but we'll do our best.

I know DR Elmore is otherwise engaged, but wonder if anyone else would like to join us?

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

That sounds like a plan to me. Yes, they can call me from the front desk. Just tell them you're here to see me and I'll come down to the second floor.

[Jane]

The truth is, she has to stay with him regardless of what she wants; she needs health insurance.

True, and maybe she still loves him.  In the best of times this is hard, under her circumstances-I can't imagine.

[Ron Pulliam]

I wonder if this is about Kenneth, or his grandfather???    

[Jane]

DR Jeanne, thank you for your kind thoughts & helpful suggestion.  Actually, under the circumstances we are doing ok.  It will just take time.  Keith’s mother was ready to go, and in a certain way that makes this easier to cope with.  If my friend isn’t fine I will be a mess.  

[singdaw]

Ah!  Here's Ed and the Prize Patrol now!

I shall try to be gracious and not let my newfound millions change me too much.

Back from a great lunch at Langer's - very hard to be a good boy, diet-wise, but I think I did well.  I did end up having a pastrami sandwich with russian dressing and cole slaw - happily, they don't really pile on the meat like other places, so it was a pretty reasonable sandwich, big-wise, and I had one tiny piece of kishka.  The boys ordered more food than I've ever seen on a table.  Soup, potato pancakes, chopped liver, the kishka, and a sandwich each.  It was SO hard not to sample the potato pancakes, but I didn't.

[George]

I shall try to be gracious and not let my newfound millions change me too much.

Please don't forget us little people!

Since I fear that most of my income tax goes to a war in Iraq I neither support nor approve, I sent my Katrina money to the Red Cross.

I bought Publix gift cards with my Katrina money, and gave them to the evacuees we put up for several months. They were not illiterate, BTW, and one of them returned the favor by designing our SACCO AND VANZETTI poster and DVD cover. Thank you, Craig's List!

About halfway through the meal, a couple was seated at the booth right next to us (and butted up right against our booth).  The guy was a real character and was staring at the kishka on our table.  I told him what it was and that it was the best kishka ever, and we all struck up a conversation.  He told us he was from Brooklyn and that he was a crook.  Very funny.  His gal pal didn't seem anything like him - reserved and didn't open her mouth, but he said they'd been together twenty years.  We talked about Brooklyn, we talked delis, then he ordered a lot of the stuff we did.  At the end of the meal, we said goodbye to him and told him how much we enjoyed the banter.  Barry's friend and I went up to pay our portion of the bill, and when Barry joined us he told us he'd found out the guy's name.  And, the guy telling us he was a "crook" turned out to be not so far-fetched.  Let's just say that this guy's family was one of the biggest crime families ever, and clearly one of the models for the Sopranos, which he talked about lovingly, BTW (by the way, in Internet lingo).  I wish I'd gotten his card - there are a few people I'd like him to have a conversation with

[Jane]

Interesting story.  I have never heard of Langer's so I looked it up.  I didn't even know there was a deli in that part of town.  How long has it been there?

[TCB]

Yep - that's what happens when Labor Day falls on September 1.

*But it has been a very "fast" year.

Yeah, honey, just wait until you are 50.

[singdaw]

What happens when a shiksa eats a kishka?

[Edisaurus]

Ask bk:

I notice there are several versions of Mario Bava's BLACK SUNDAY floating around---some even have different scores. I'd like to buy a copy of it, so which version would you recommend?

[DearReaderLaura]

Thoughts and prayers to DR Jane's friend. And to DR Jane. I know how this affects friends and family, too.

[singdaw]

Well, I just looked up "kishka."         And my previous comment was certainly not meant as a euphemism!  

[FJL]

Ginny, which row are you sitting in?

Note re the elevator, only because of your foot:  It's a lovely lovely theater space, but theater B is on the third floor (two floors up from street level).  Until the house opens, they will only let you up to the bar area one flight up, but if you wait until the house opens (usually 8:05-8:10 for the 8:15 show), then the elevator will take you all the way up to the theatre B level two flights up on the third floor

If you're on the aisle (the most center seats 2,4,6 or 1,3,5) you may want to wait until the rest of your row is seated before sitting, to avoid having to let people pass you and avoid the very minimal risk of people stepping on your  foot.

[TCB]

My poking nail got stuck in my lemon hole.

   

[Edisaurus]

Vibes to dear Jane and her friend!

[Jane]

DR Laura, your thoughts and prayers are very appreciated.

[Jane]

There is a Carvel's near Keith's mother's.  We did manage to find time to stop for ice cream cones-OH SO DELICIOUS!  I brought home some of their chocolate chrunchies & am having a little mixed into some coffee ice cream.

If I had known Keith was going to spend the next 4 hours helping his brother set up his new computer I would have gone for a walk & purchased a Jewish corn rye & a challah.  By the time we left there was only enough time to stop by the hotel to freshen up and change.  Oh well, next trip.

[Jane]

Thank you DR Edi.

[MBarnum]

DR Jane, my special patented get well vibes are going out to your friend!!
