Mrs R is currently in Munich. Though she was back through the weekend, this is another week of solo dad work till Thurs.

More successful trip vibes for Mrs. R!

[Freddie]

Apparently I can’t sleep much past 3 a.m. when she’s away, the kids are in my bed, and about 30 stuffed animals have joined us.

Is that kind of like the 30 dolls that the President talks about?

I want “my favorite dish, fish,” as the Andrews Sisters sang. I’ll eat it however you serve it, from sashimi to salmon croquettes. I’ll try to make most any kind of fish from flounder fillets to tuna steaks. I once made salt-encrusted whole fish, which was nice and showy, tasted great, but isn’t really a dish for one.

[John G.]

I want some seafood, Mamma!

Getting rest before a big day sounds like a great plan.

[John G.]

Congrats, KevinH and George.

Later incorporated as a band name Seafood Mama, by a group from Seattle who would change their name and have much success as Quarterflash.

Fred I kept the Arthur Treacher’s in business in the sad little food court that used to be on 8th Ave 44/45th. Might have been one of the last to carry the brand name.

Fred I kept the Arthur Treacher’s in business in the sad little food court that used to be on 8th Ave 44/45th. Might have been one of the last to carry the brand name.

If that's the food court I'm thinking of on 8th Avenue that I'd drop in on from time to time, it had a Nathan's there too which was probably not impressive looking, but looked clean and the franks and French fries were tasty. 

Not sure why I didn't eat at the Arthur Treacher's there; maybe, just maybe, because the Nathan's seemed to have a lot of customers so it felt like it would have better food turnover? 

[Freddie]

The layout of food establishments at that 8th Avenue food court seemed very similar to a multi-franchise food court in Penn Station near NJ Transit that had a Nathans, a KFC and a Cinn-a-Bon.

In Penn Station, everything was remarkably fresh and well-run, and they were accustomed to packing things very well to take on the train - especially if you mentioned that you were taking it on the train, and even more so if you  conspicuously showed them you had a tip in your hand poised to leave it for them.

I'm up, I'm up - three hours of sleep, I think.

[Freddie]

I'm trying to recall if the food court in Penn Station had an Arthur Treacher's back when I was using NJ Transit out of Penn Station pretty regularly. 

I also worked two blocks from Penn station up for 18 years to 2010, so it was easy to pop into Penn Station and partake of the food offerings that were used to dealing with travelers and LIRR/NJ Transit/Amtrak commuters, and which seemed to be run aware of the competition for your on-the-go food dollar.

[Freddie]

The food court on 8th Avenue in the low 40s (assuming we're talking about the same food court) seemed to be a relative ghost town except in the hours before and after the Broadway shows.  But turnover was terrific before shows and between shows n omatinee days.

When I was rehearsing a show at the Roy Arias Theatre in early 2014 in the Midtown International Festival Theatre Festival, at 43rd and 8th, (at the same time as I was working at firm on 42nd near 6th), the eats over by there seemed quite good.

Yikes, that's not good!  Maybe you'll doze off a bit to make up for it.

It's nice she could spend the weekend with them though all that traveling is hard.

Yes, same spot. It had a Church’s Chicken in the way back that I’d hit up on undisciplined nights. The Treacher’s now that you mention it, was half Treacher’s, half Nathan’s and you could tell from the reactions of the kids who worked there that people ordering the fish was pretty rare.

I sent some votes for DR JOHN G.

It is 68 degrees here now.....and a few clouds in the sky.  Very nice spring weather.

[Jrand74]

Three hours sleep for MR BK?

Around these here parts - that's just a nap.
