insert 270102 torsdag 17. januar 2002 15:16 I gather that some folks gravitate to this first (alphabetically) section, but I suggest sections “Hugh Moore” for humor, and “Auntenna” for media remarks, and “Amateur Legislator” and “Window of Opportunity” for politics , among others, to get started. or “Munchausen” (local anecdotes from me).

130701 I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO A BASEBALLGAME BUT NOT soccer basketball opera hockey ballet or theater or movies.

140701 02:01 I hate country summer cottages cabins or huts. I hate beaches, lakes, ocean, sand, sunshine.

I love closed apartments, comfort and convenience.

250701 19:27 I love classical music (eg Bach). I love TV. I have mixed feelings about books, sort of like kid taking bath, I like it once I get in--but I read slowly. but thoroughly. in seventh grade I impressed teachers very much in a big reading-comprehension test. and I understand acting texts etc. I am an understander of words in my own language (USA), and am what I call an “associationist”.

I am extremely lazy. I would like to be a queen bee, lying there tended and producing eggs, or a maharaja, similarly.

150801 17:13 A pal at the bar is American of Chinese descent and said his father was always talking to him in proverbs. So i said, like a Jewish father refering to the great rabbis. But I refrained from telling him the Chinese/Jewish joke.

200801 1754 when ten I and Eugene (a bit older) rolled coconuts in front of cars coming down the hill and turning.

When twelve I with another kid threw water-filled balloons down onto the sidewalk from third floor porch when people were going by.

290801 0701 I remember often with delight, carving Swan soap (it floats)(or am i wrong, maybe actually it was Ivory soap that floated, altho one would think it would be Swan)---anyway, carving Swan soap, in Manchester, New Hampshire (age five years). Walking alone by lake or pond, stopping to carve Swan soap. Pleasant woods.

0720 The local movie houses, “The Strand”, “The Mystic”. And the nice guy who ran “The Strand”. He treated us youngsters with respect as people. But of course he had a role different from my parents.

130901 2231 What ever happened to the Polish vodka called Zhubrovka (sp?) (flavored with an actual grass straw (zubrovka)(sp?) of the grass “Beloved of the European Bison”)? And the Hungarian red wine called Egri Bikaver (sp?) (“Bull´s Blood”)?

071001 0021 I was very lucky decades ago that a guy who was security guard for the Steinway showroom in Boston let me on several occasions play the many pianos.

0319 Feeling grateful to Bernard for enabling me to get this computer, which i really like very much.
