While getting material together for my book on the first quarter century (mixing parodies with stories), I found some old communications from a fellow who lives on the next block named John Ekizian, whom I dated in the 1980s and who was in Skip's BMI class around 1999-2000.   I found a letter that John had claimed he sent to the police (the police had no record of getting the letter) which started by saying that I kept calling him in fall 2021 even though he had blocked my number, which of course made no sense, since how was I calling him if he had blocked me.  But he also brought up some issues he claimed to have had about Skip in BMI class back in 1999-2000, even though we'd run into him on the street so many times over the two decades after that.  And from what I can see from when John and I dated in the 1980s, it was a lovely time that just ended very amicably.

There are of course people who dislike me for some reason or other (some having to do with family money), but have no problem whatsoever with Skip.    There are people who might dislike Skip (like some who had work issues or blame him for their not going on to the 3rd year at BMI), but have no issue whatsoever with me.  There are only two people I know of in the entire world who have a dislike for both Skip and me, and John Ekizian is one of them.  It's been very interesting looking back at this quarter century, but also perplexing.   I wonder if I should just let the book be the parodies only and drop the narrative.

Hugs.

TWO!

Rodzinski I tried melatonin so many years ago I don't remember why it bothered me. Keith tried it and it didn't help. He does better with a white noise machine and I do better with Glycine.

I believe it was Singdaw wondering about melatonin. Mrs Rodz takes it now and again, two chewy pills from a purple bottle. But I don’t think it helps her that much.

Oops. I almost said Singdaw then thought it was you.

The air quality in Cairo is possibly the worst in the world. We are almost back to our ship in Alexandria and it looks just as ugly here.

Thanks, Jane!


It stays a concern because he lives on the next block so of course uses the supermarket on our block, and he's yelled at us on the street a couple of times during the last few years.

DR singdaw as has been mentioned by others - my sister found Glycine to work better than Melatonin.

I think she uses Natures Way.

This is another great photo!

And thanks again, Jrand, for posting them here!

Good morning.

[Freddie]

Amazon Fresh has an open delivery slot for 1 to 3 pm today.  That seems unusual.  Wondering if people are using Amazon less in New York. 

Does anyone know what the status is of people avoiding doing business with Amazon?  Was it just a very brief "Blackout" day or week?

[ChasSmith]

Good morning, all.

[Rodzinski]

DR Jane looks to be with a young F. Murray Abraham while Vixmom was with present-day F.

[John G.]

Off for Austin in a bit.

[ChasSmith]

A dream I had early this a.m.: 

I was on an airplane, in coach, in the window seat, when I noticed it was Ariana Grande, in the middle seat in front of us, chatting to people around her using German phrases. She was demonstrating how she used German now and then in music and movies. Robin de Jesus was seated next to me, and when Ariana turned around to include us in what she was saying, she resembled a very young Sissy Spacek.

The end.

[ChasSmith]

DR John G., I think you said you don't much like Austin? Why is that?

(I haven't been to either Austin or San Antonio, just the Dallas area, which I like. But I always thought I'd like both of those.)

[Rodzinski]

Yes, I thought Austin was supposed to be an especially fun, kooky, weird part of Texas. I know it’s grown like crazy. The Mrs was there for work last year and did not enjoy it.

Here's an update on the Happy Cat Sanctuary fire last week:

I have a friend who was working with Mr F. Murray Abraham.  My friend asked him what the "F" stood for and he said:  "Famous."

LOL!

DR RODZINSKI I agree with what you said about the Houston coach.

Every time they showed a closeup of his hideous face - I wanted to smash it into the hardwood.

It's a racket - there are no penalties. When the old fools get caught they just say they're sorry and spend 18 months or so in Puerto Rico - then back on the NCAA merry go round and they're back at another school - I'm looking at YOU Tom Izzo - one of the worst offenders.

[John G.]

It used to be fun, kooky and weird. Now it’s just corporatized.

[John G.]

I made it okay. The traffic was hellish as always. 20 minutes to go less than five miles for no reason.

[John G.]

The tasting is at a place called Wanderlust Wine, which is Texas’s largest home of kegged wine.

[John G.]

It’s got a fun, kooky, weird and wine look.

I would find that difficult.

The Capital is worth seeing.
