  1. donatella, trying to find that punkette on internet for you… approx what age range would she be and are you native NYer?

    Yes, Ms. Rossi would be in her late 50s and I grew up in Staten Island before the bridge, hence the bucolic scenes I paint of my idyllic childhood. I would imagine she is either in New Jersey now or in the slammer.

    Thank you Pete.

    because at some point i will probably wind up saying the wrong thing to the wrong person and get shot in the face!
    plus i enjoy my newport 100’s too much!

    Well, I guess that answers it. If you ever decide you want to do something life enhancing and quit smoking let me know having done it a longtime ago and having lived to see the benefits.

    have you been inside a NYC public school?

    of course not, do i wanna get shot in the face NOW?! but just hearing the tales that teachers tell who teacher in public schools (obviously not the hard to get into schools) and most grammer schools are okay, but middle and high schools are just atrocious. however if i had a kid i would send them to public schools, even if the schools were bad. im not one of those types of people who think their kids are better than everyone else. i cant believe people pay so much for private! soooo insane!

    Rob,

    There are no guns inside NYC public schools. FYI. This is not Columbine! I know you are not interested, but I’d be happy to give you a tour of my daughter’s middle school on the Lower East Side, nestled among the projects and Knickerbocker Village on Catherine St.

    At MS51, the middle school on 5th Ave. and 5th St., they probably dress better than you.

  4. teachers work everyday in NYC public schools- without getting shot in the face. My brother in law and my sister have manged to live through the day for years. As have a number of other teachers I know. There are thousands of good teachers and students- so cut the crap already.

  5. “BTW, I’m kicking your low rent tenant out.” – well of course, that will be my apt for life(rent free) as part of the deal.
