I am godparents to my twin’s children. I deserved it- I was with her when she gave birth and got bitten. I think it was when I said, “Oh, c’mon! It’ll be over soon!” Jeesh- try to inject a little humor into a situation and they go all postal on ya.
I hate my middle name (for no rational reason), but I like using my middle initial. Then again, I hate my last name, too. Could my name possibly sound MORE Jewish???
I enjoyed myself, too. Thanks, Benson. I was looking at my pictures, and realized I should have taken many more than I did, for all of the great stuff we passed in the car. There were a couple of houses I should have taken pix of, and I should have shot the WPA Deco rec center in Sunset Park. Well, now I have to go back on foot, especially to wander around Sunset Park.
In the “who knew?” category – the huge block wide basilica, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, in Sunset Park. I had no idea a church that large was there.
Shore Rd, in Bay Ridge – a sad shame all the old mansions are no longer there, but still a really beautiful road, very much like Riverside Drive, but with a better river view.
The older Victorian and turn of the 20th C. homes in Bay Ridge – read about them from people posting here, like Expert Texpert and italiana, but great actually seeing them. They need to be landmarked!!!!!!!
We did not discuss that last issue. I did not want to be tossed out of the car in Dyker Heights. They don’t have trains there. 😉
i barfed all over the floor at church at my communion in 2nd grade. then they shoved me in the back seat of a car and left me there for hours while they went out to eat.
“i assume you have one of each?”
As many as your parents want you to have, but not necessarily a 1:1 ratio of men to women.
not missing much. they just throw some water on you. Didn’t you ever get hit by squirt gun?
(no rewrites, please). That can count if you want.

“Anyone who is not baptized winds up in Limbo for all eternity after they die.”
I wasn’t baptized. My parents thought we should choose for ourselves if we wanted to be.
