My, my, my (three mys) I didn't know so many felt the same way about grocery shopping. And you guys are in the suburbs!!! Shopping is very difficult (in my humble opinion) in the borough of Manhattan. I go shopping at about 7am because the store I go to (Western Beef) has good prices but it's a typical small NYC store. Shopping at other times becomes a lesson in frustration. The aisles are barely wide enough for one cart, let alone people. If we go at 7am on Sunday morning usually the only people in the stores are the employees and we can take our time and not worry about bumping into people, unruly children, cart bumper cars, etc. The other problem w/Manhattan shopping is (I've mentioned this before) you have to get your groceries back to your apartment and since the nearest two grocery stores are at the least 5 blocks away, if you don't have a cart in which to load your groceries, your arms get a workout. Although delivery is usually available, I just refuse to succumb to that temptation so we push our cart 6 blocks filled w/groceries and then have to lug them up 3 flights of stairs. At least when you shop in the burbs, you have a car and you can park in front of your house and unload. I've gone on too long about this so I'll stop.
I'm wallowing in nostalgia today. I mentioned I listened to Purlie yesterday. This morning I did listen to Romanovsky and Phillips (a gay duo from the 80s who sang very politcal and funny material). This afternoon I am listening to the 1964 West End cast of Little Me. A friend has it on CD and has let me borrow it. The show has a song that isn't on the Broadway cast CD w/Sid Caesar called Rich Kids Rag. Swen Swenson from the Broadway cast went over to London with the show. After Little Me, I will listen to Miss Lansbury in the Broadway recording of Dear World.
