Cheers to all of us thieves!
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1. What was your proudest moment

Hard to say.

Do I go career-wise and say law school graduation?  Or standing in the courthouse and hearing the words that I had been admitted to the bar?

Or do I get very personal and mention the pride i have in my two daughters and all they have accomplished?

2. What is your favorite childhood memory?

So many to choose from...I was nine when we got our dog Pepi.  He was a miniature poodle.  Best dog in the world.  He died when I was in college and I cried. 

3. Describe your dream vacation.

The one we are planning right now.  That  answer never changes, it's the destination that changes.  

Right now we are talking about a cruise in December 2022, when (hopefully) things are more normal  The itinerary we are looking at includes Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica.

4. Do you see yourself as an optimist, pessimist, or realist?  Why?

I am a realist with more than a healthy dose of optimism.

5. What is something you wanted to do as a child, but never got to do.


I always wanted to go to Disneyland in California.  I'd watch Uncle Walt on TV every Sunday, I'd remember how much fun it was to ride "It's A Small World" at the New York World's Fair, and I would wish I could go to Disneyland.

As an adult I've been to Walt Disney World in Florida many times, but I still haven't gotten to the original...

6. What board game do you hate the most?

Risk.  Never really got the hang of it.

7. Describe the worst haircut you ever got.


Don't you just love my poodle perm?


8. What’s the worst job you ever had?
9. What is one thing you want to be remembered for?
10. On a scale of 1-10, what is the highest level of pain you’ve ever experienced?
11. What fashion trend do you wish would go away?
12. What’s the weirdest dream you’ve ever had
13. What are 2 weaknesses you have.

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

14. How would you spend your 100th birthday?

Let's have a small family party at an Italian restaurant.

15. What food/drinks would you pack in a picnic basket?

Pastrami on rye, macaroni salad, watermelon, diet Dr. Pepper

    Those perms were all the rage back in the 1980s. You would have been in style then.

    I've been to Disneyland so many times (starting in 1957) that I don't care if I ever go again! Have never been to any of the other Disneylands.

    Surprising how many of us are optimistic realists!

    I hope I don't have my head in clouds or buried my head in the sand.

    It's a Small World is a ride you don't want to go on unless you have earplugs. That song... Over and over and over and over again. But if the day is hot and you want to sit... But the song!

    I love macaroni salad, too. The poodle perm that I got when I was in high school, a junior, decided me to cut my own hair ever after. Naturally curly hair should never be permed. Ironed, yes, but not permed.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
