He had one of those tall swively ashtrays that made you want to smoke. They don't make cool ashtrays anymore, now that smokers are considered evil-er than Osama bin Laden.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and Abdul, thanks and all the best to you too, you know?People in the Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06961234839608654790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-48072752356578519062008-06-09T09:26:21.234-04:002008-06-09T09:26:21.234-04:00Ricardo - that's what I was wondering. I don't know anything about reed instruments (or even if a clarinet is one), but don't those things get brittle or something & need replacing? I suppose by this time it makes not that much difference. :-(<BR/><BR/>Anyway...I did enjoy the stories.Jill/Twipply Skwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10439582294571462742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-998790622019844842008-06-04T02:10:12.628-04:002008-06-04T02:10:12.628-04:00Could it have been a bad reed?Ricardohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01393234934008656683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-71958683114323875252008-06-04T01:36:34.088-04:002008-06-04T01:36:34.088-04:00thanx friend.........for visiting my blog ...... i want to build a good virtual friendship with you .....ok all the best....Abdul Vahidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10655078747400054501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-30640529449222263262008-06-04T01:27:45.755-04:002008-06-04T01:27:45.755-04:00Pelkyi, thanks. It took me a while. Actually, I called Honey and asked her why Pelkyi wanted to send me two checks.<BR/><BR/>Xbox, thanks. I promise the next post will be different. It'll even include the word "shag."<BR/><BR/>SJ, I see you've read Sun Tzu. But really, you haven't read The Art of War until you've read it in the original Yiddish. -- And as I wrote to Xbox, the next post will be different. It will be about my future (short-term ) plans, which at least will make God laugh.<BR/><BR/>Aimee, thanks. You don't need to say anything else, really. Just a comment like that makes me keep going.<BR/><BR/>Simon, maybe you're right. We were invited back every week, after all. Poor guy was coming into the living room, and as he was walking, he was taking his belt off. But he never hit anyone. Maybe he did like us being there after all.People in the Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06961234839608654790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-8857038930015794952008-06-03T16:18:59.118-04:002008-06-03T16:18:59.118-04:00Don't feel guilty - I'm sure he thought warmly of his beloved grandson every time he gazed up at his shattered chandelier.<BR/><BR/>Nice stories...Simonhttp://secretoflife.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-36671732972435256912008-06-03T12:00:28.789-04:002008-06-03T12:00:28.789-04:00Again, great stories for which I have no words.Aimeepaloozahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00147506875370126093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-70595349448457403712008-06-03T00:25:12.746-04:002008-06-03T00:25:12.746-04:00I think the lesson from the first story is: When at war learn Yiddish.<BR/><BR/>Two posts in a row you made me sad could be bad for my heart you know :)SJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17567372758347040220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-30935894859177112792008-06-02T17:24:01.111-04:002008-06-02T17:24:01.111-04:00One great story, one sweet story.<BR/><BR/>You're on a roll.Xbox4NappyRashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11044403947730363259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34490505.post-48606926990814531902008-06-02T14:23:38.895-04:002008-06-02T14:23:38.895-04:00Thanks.
