His house is in da village doe.
I don't know where that came from. Maybe its something of a combination of Duddy Kravitz speak (FROM THE BOOK SOME OF US READ THIS MONTH), and my feeling of being a little bit lost right now. Not in the woods, but seriously lost about 27,000 light years from Earth, lost in the Milky Way. And my mission is to find the home planet before 5:00 PM tomorrow night so I can show Alex that I've actually mastered this 100% dimensionally, gravitationally correct universe exploration computer program that we bought at the Museum of Natural History. It's got 28,000 galaxies in it. It's a big universe, people, and I've been working on getting home for quite a while. But, instead of finding the system known as Sol right now, the dude formerly known as Fearless Leader has been tapped to write this month's recap. Someone said, "You can't just be a figure head."
Yeah. okay.
From Sherry to finding's one's way in the universe.... A lot's happened people. And now I need reading glasses too. And my back has been hurting me (for all the wrong reasons). You're asking me to be Fearless Leader again? Well, it's an excuse to buy a pack of smokes, so I muster I shall....
No Sherry... She left us. Hmmm.... Then what does the template dictate to this old, retired guy?
Sherry, Sherry, Sherry...
Kill ten of my first born, and I'd still be saying that, but...
Thank you, thank you, oh my God so profusely, thank you Nate for a truly sumptuous dining experience this evening. It's literally been years since I've had such a wonderful Subway sandwich!!! A feeling shared by many of us, I'm sure. And those dips with those little cubes of Monterey Jack with the embedded peppers, well, that was like a religious experience for me, better even than with a natural born killer named Lisa Sill at the Buddhist temple during a blistering August day on Lantau.
Oh and.... Let's see. A report on our happy little group is in order.
Well... Kathryn had a tan, and a glow tonight because of what happened
the past couple of evenings (with a couple of different guys), but I'm
going to be discreet. Matt glowed too when he spoke of his visit to
Greece. What's up with that? Scott (and we need THE picture)...
Scott, our, umm...club misogynist, told more misogynist jokes tonight,
true to form as always. What was that one about Adam and the rib?
Mary, love of my and Nate's lives.... she was too busy for us tonight, but
she did show up (in a rather, well, shorts and a top) long enough to let
us know that she's still in shape but that her taste in books is going
down hill. Hilary showed up fashionably late... and Nancy, Nancy, have
you ever had a secret lust for a person that's married? OH YEAH...
There's a reason you keep getting those emails with the Alex videos.
Hmm. Should I show that picture of Scott again or Sherry? No, no... Three guesses.... Who's eyes are these????
Look closely and remember, Old Timers.... And
Oh, I remember him so well.... He invoked The Almighty every time there was a little passion in a novel. Where have those eyes gone?
Waxing nostalgia, people, I'm sure, but we did talk about a book tonight.
"The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz", that was the title, and everyone gave it six's except for YOURS TRULY, the old, retired guy. He tried to have an intellectual conversation about the book, but it seemed that without Tom (remember him?) to invoke God. it appeared tonight that there were no takers. So here's the bottom line: Duddy Kravitz is considered a Canadian Classic, but have you ever gone to Canada and really looked at the architecture? It's not quite European and not quite American. Seriously, the whole country is just a little bit off. So was our book of the month. At least that was the consensus, despite Fearless Leader's utterly persuasive arguments to the contrary. Our literarily expert, still glowing from Greece, described it "episodic."
Fearless Leader longed tonight for the intellectual companionship that could have been provided by Sherry had she attended, or Nancy, if she were free...or Tom, were he not... But...
Tomorrow is another day (to quote Fearless Leader).
And tomorrow, here's what you want to go out and buy - Title: "Slowness" Author: Milan Kundera Length: 158 pages. IT'S A BOOK ABOUT SEDUCTION.duh
And we're going to have some OLD TIME special guests next month onTUESDAY, AUGUST 26TH at my place. Mark Fearless Leader's words on this. we will have SPECIAL, Old time guests who will have read the book.... And FL's going to start his phone campaign tomorrow....
Nancy, Nancy, Nancy...Leave him....
Ciao People,
Fearless L.
