Hi Dakota, he is still asymptomatic

The silly goofus rolled over last night, right over my legs and off the bed. I got up to make sure he was ok, we always worry about his elbows. He seemed find but a wee bit upset & went over to Keith's side of the bed & curled up on the floor.

I went back to sleep only to be woken awhile latter by whimpering. By the second whimper I knew what was happening but poor Keith was very confused, wondering how Sherlock had gotten into this position. Goofus had the top half of his body across the bed at Keith's feet & the bottom half securely positioned on the floor, waiting for Keith to lift him onto the bed. We are talking about dead weight, he doesn't help at all. It's all those times he wasn't permitted to jump on the bed, or into Keith's car.

We got a new car which is lower to the ground so Keith won't have to keep lifting Sherlock up into a high SUV. That was the plan anyway, half the time Goofus still does the half in, half on the floor routine. What a dog!

At least Keith doesn't have to lift him very far.

And of course I need to let DR Elmore3003 get over my previous visit before I can request sleeping quarters on his fire escape again. And who knows how long that will take!

All the time in the world!

And many of the communities live in relative peace. The article I read remarked on that. You are lucky since you can experience different cultures, foods and folkways.

Well, occasionally an aboriginal group from Chelsea will try to abduct women from the Upper West Side to continue the breed or start a war with Harlem.

And yet, when someone is in trouble, there's always a helping hand around -- I've seen so many cases of perfect strangers helping each other carry strollers up and down stairs, holding doors, helping pick up dropped items, and so forth.

My FACT IS STRANGER THAN FICTION tale of NYC.

I was hurring through Grand Central Station when I heard a loud voice ugently calling "SIR!". I turned around and there was a young black man rushing toward me. It seems some bills (the money kind) had fallen from my pants pockets and the man had gathered them up and was trying to return them!

My mother's dog also whines to be lifted onto the bed.. .

Glad to hear that he is holding his on other wise and Keith's back is better. I have had you in my thoughts.

It's one of my favorite things about NYC. I go to visit family in Arizona, and I experience the worst culture shock every time. Not a black, brown, or any other color face for miles -- except for the support staff workers, like kitchen staff, etc.... It creeps me out.

That's the other thing about moving---we live in a very racially mixed neighborhood, mostly hispanic and black, and are in the minority. The neighborhood we're moving to is urban but mostly white yuppies. So far we haven't felt really at home yet but maybe it takes being there. I will miss my Bambi men and my enchilada truck!

DR Edi, perhaps it will now become someone else's "starter house" and will be filled with such warmth and good vibes, that the new owner will be as much in love with it as you are and will take good care of it!

Thanks, Joy!

Unfortunately, that will not be the case, I don't think. My whole neighborhood is being torn down (the city's version of "ethnic cleansing"). When I sell my house, since it's on s half acre downtown at the very corner of this new development, I'm sure it will be town down. It's a tiny house, no A/C, built in '23 by the owners (I am the 2nd owner). It was one of the first houses on South Avenue.

The woman who is moving in discovered her apartment was full of black mold and got very ill and called us, begging us to speed up our move so she could rent our house. She'll pay $500/mo even though I know I could get more, because I know she will take care of it and she understands that whenever we do sell it, she will have 60 days rent free to find another place. So she doesn't have to take perfect care of it as she will probably be the last person to live there, and that's kind of a relief for us not to have to worry about it.

Thanks for all the supportive vibes. I don't know why I feel like such a baby about this! I hate change as much as the cats, i guess!

I see that Roundabout, whose track record for doing revivals well is pathetic, is now having a BYE BYE BIRDIE workshop. I love Bill Irwin, who's doing Harry MacAfee, but he has a problem singing in rhythm. Poor Strouse! Poor Adams! Poor Michael Stewart! and poor, poor Gower Champion!

derB's theatre going plans are greatly conditioned by the lack of the $200 or so to get special shots so the dogs can be kenneled, plus the $100+ per day kenneling fees -IF you can find space, which is rare in the summer.

If the R/T drive weren't such a killer we'd be in NYC more often.

I am deeply distressed that NYMF hasn't figured out how to make ticketing as easy as possible. It's not a subject I know anything about, alas.
