Hey chicken! Your consigliere awaits your travel plans. If you’re going to be here for the gathering on the 22nd, we’ll arrange a Sycamore gathering — I think the garden is open now.
Oh, and chicken, I have your Brownstoner tee. What do you want on the back: “the chicken” or “chicken” or “Chicken”?? Please advise.”
Sadly not going to be there for the 22nd.
I think I have to go for “the chicken”. Let me know how much I owe you.
The running joke about condoms refers to the time I brought a box of one thousand NYC clinic condoms to Last Exit as a gag or art project. *rob* said he could use them as water baloons. 1000 diapers might be too much though.
Biff,
yeah, the Devils are sort of like the Giants and Jets, they just play in Jersey.
I took littlelegion to the Yankees ticker tape parade last year, it was worth the day out of school since there can be dry spells between winning seasons, sometimes decades!
“Pansy” label sticks for Rangers. Paper Tigers for the last few years. Unlike the Knicks, no big cap $$$ or juicy free agents to sign to turn it around
Last week I took off to paint 4 rooms in my place, as well as to help my wife with some heavy spring cleaning.
I usually take a week off to paint and clean every spring. It’s almost part of my Easter/spring ritual. I enjoy it for the following reasons:
-for a road warrior such as myself, it’s a good thing to spend a week doing physical work.
-makes your house feel fresh and clean again. I love the smell of fresh paint. Each year I take on a different project. Last year it was two bedrooms and some closets. This year it was my LR/DR, kitchen, entrance foyer and bedroom foyer.
-my folks raised us on an ethos of self-reliance, and I still try to abide by it.

Speaking of 1000 condoms, have I told you guys about my theory on truck stops?”
What’s your truck stop theory lechacal?
“Sadly not going to be there for the 22nd.”
Completely unacceptable! Ah, well, I guess we’ll be forced to come out at Sycamore then. So many outings, so little time.
Mets are at least nice to me – ie they’re stinking up the joint at the start so no build-up of false hope

These days, I usually have to take a week off after painting the town red.

So, is it:
Out of sight, out of mind

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
