Every Japanese and Thai restaurant I’ve been in in Brooklyn seems to be run by Fujianese Chinese. Long ago, Koreans ran the ones in and around Park Slope. I guess there aren’t enougJapaneseh people to go around!
Thanks Snappy for the great card. As long as you can fill up your lungs with air ET, you can swim. You got plenty of hot air, so you should be fine. Skinny people tend to sink and people with a little adipose on them (ahem) have an easier time. Seriously, take lessons, woman, swimming is wonderful.
Bulletin from the landed brownstone gentry:
–Repairs to my roof cost 65$. I got a local roofer guy who went up to the roof with me, (I hate going up there) and found a few places near the chimney where there were cracks in the tar over the bricks there — holes into which water went only during heavy downpours. The roof itself is ok. Also, I thought the mesh gutter covers were enough to keep out the leaves, but they weren’t installed properly apparantly and they were full of leaves. So we cleaned up that and tarred up the spots and its done. The tenant is getting the ceiling repaired now.
Bulletin from the yuppie consumer landed brownstone gentry:
–Wasabi is the new Japanese restaurant on Fulton near Washington. Owners are nice, it is not Japanese owned, so no Japanese style sushi, but it is fresh and good. It is inexpensive and has booths, so not fine dining but I welcome them.
–Beny of Beny’s Delice said he had a very good week.
biff, didn’t know what to make of it, was parent annoyed because it was a reflection on them or are they just trying to defend thier brood. Maybe it’s a good thing my pops had two jobs while I was growing up…..
“biff, my most odd moment was when a parent called me about their son/candidate, wanted to know why he wasn’t offered a job.”
DeLepp, we had company over the weekend and my friend told me that anotehr parent called her to ask why her kid wasn’t invited to a birthday party. Sounds like the same kind of parent as you ran into.
Besides the Ys, there’s a pool with open hours at the Berkeley Carroll School. It’s on President St. between 6th and 7th Aves. I think. There’s also a pool with open swim hours at John Jay High School. And of course there are the public pools–Red Hook on the way to Fairway; Bed Stuy at Marcy and Dekalb, Sunset Park, among many others. There are little public pools in Gowanus and one behind PS20 in Ft. Greene. The Bed Stuy Y on Monroe and Bedford tends to be less crowded than the more gentrified Ys and it has a beautiful pool.
In the M borough, there’s a public pool just north of Delancey, near Clinton? maybe further east. There’s one on 23rd St. all the way east. One on 7th Ave. South just north of Houston. One on far West 59th St. More I am sure–you can look it up! And besides the YMCA pools, there are YMHA pools–one on 14th St. between 1st and 2nd Ave., and one in the 92nd St. Y on Lexington Ave. Plenty of metered parking but bring lots of quarters! I like the Chinatown YMCA on Bowery just south of Houston–in the same building as Whole Foods of you want to take the bambino for an expensive snack afterward (or of course you can go for an extremely cheap snack if you go south into Chinatown).
rf, thanks for info about traders joe, had I known I would have stopped. JRP has lots of lunatics and pot holes. A minivan filled with kids sped by me and I was doing a nice clip myself.

OMG, my father had an outpatient procedure to repair his defibrillator, cost was $110,000. He was there for only 4 hours.

OK, gotta do some work….
Those interviewee questions are brilliant!
Cgar, I haven’t been following the open thread like I should. Did you get the house? Are you still in the running?
