I just got back from a pleasant lunch with e. She met me right outside my office building, and we walked a block away to a friendly little place called Chat ?n? Chew. She had the Holy Cow, their very good hamburger; I had the rueben special. Sloppy, like a sandwich should be.
Our waiter stopped at our table for a moment and asked, ?Hey, why do both you guys have orange hair? Are youse related or something??
?No,? I said, ?It?s just a coincidence, I guess.?
?Okay,? he said.
Nope, not related. We?d never even met before.
But I feel happy that we know each other now. That’s a nice thing.
Presently, e. is on her way to the NYU Housing Department, to try to take care of some school business, and I am sitting in my cube.
It?s cold, rainy, and windy outside, and everyone seems to feel a little bit lousy. The air, the pollen, the pressure.
And, apparently, several of the donewaiting crowd are big into the “microtonality in relation to lagrange transforms and random repeating multiple nulls theory.” Wow. Who knew?
That?s all the news I?ve got for you, folks.
Thanks. Take care.
