I know you hetero’s have lots of peculiar protocol and ritual. So was wondering, is there some sort of prescribed time before depositing a check for wedding gift?
Has been about a month since my nephew’s wedding, and I don’t see my check as cleared. Since cards are just kinda left on some table at reception, could easily been misplaced or lost, I wonder.
*rob*, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. If you live in New York, you’re an automatic converted to Judaism. Just ask Cobble. So, Happy New Year, or L’shana tova as tribe members say.
So last night I actually got out of work at a pretty reasonable time and took the subway home. Downtown M train is packed because it’s rush hour, and crazy looking homeless(?) guy gets on at Rock Ctr. Black guy, big bushy beard, ratty dredlockish hair, crazy homeless man clothes, and he starts talking. Perfect, clear voice, very articulate, and an accent that almost made me think he had spent too many years in ivy league academia. First he starts talking about how women shouldn’t be able to vote, that all empires decline when women get power, that when Rome fell women had more power than they did during the great days of the empire, etc etc. And nobody is looking at him but you can tell everyone (including me) has paused their Ipods and is listening to every word. Lots of people are starting to smirk because he’s saying such offensive stuff, and every time he says something he looks around with a big devilish grin just to see how people are reacting. Then he starts talking about dogs, and how the dog is man’s best friend because you can’t get sued by a dog. I’m the only person in the entire car who is actually looking at the guy – everyone else is staring at the floor in front of them.
Then he got off at Herald Square, and I have to admit, I was actually really disappointed to see him go. He was really funny. I kind of liked his brand of crazy. I hope he’s a regular feature of the evening commute.
look at how the chinese celebrate new years. now THAT’s a new years i can get behind.
actually im not even sure what they do to celebrate other than fly big red dragon kites, but that’s still fun
If anyone ever needs another quality pre-theater place, I recommend Taboon on 10th Ave.
that was lechecal’s question, not mine, rf.
