  1. I know that there are some excellent ice cream parlors in your part of the US .My cousins who live in Cambridge love their ice cream.
  2. My wife and I had apple pie and vanilla ice cream at Jahn’s on 86 St.on our first date in 1965.
  3. I cannot recall ever having a banana split with chocolate syrup.
  4. So very true. In 1992 I was working with a very nice young woman who became ill with heart and lung issues to the degree that she could no longer work.Her husband filed for divorce because he did not want to live with a woman who was sick.He was the definition of a JERK. She is alive and well now .
  5. I love Banana Splits.My 5th.birthday party was held on Brighton Beach,All the kids who attended had Good Humor hot fudge sundaes.
  6. My first cruise was in 1973 on the Cunard Ambassador .It was a birthday cruise for me.We initially booked with a Greek cruise line but the ship developed engine trouble on its return to NY.Our TA offered us a choice of a complete refund or substituting the Cunard ship.We opted for the latter. The cruise was from NY to Bermuda -$699.00 for my wife and I for the 7 night trip.
  7. Mine is three scoops of ice cream,Pistacchio,Strawberry and Butter pecan with whipped cream ,nuts and cherries.
  8. When I began cruising 50 years ago there was no such thing as getting points for cruising.
  9. I once told my grandkids that the summer after I graduated HS I had a summer job working in a NYC Department Store,40 hours for $35.00 a week.During the summer my best friends mother got me a job working 40 hours a week for $59.00. My granddaughter just got her very first office job which will be 3 days a week,6 hours a day for $288.00.
  10. Mark Cuban graduated from the college that my granddaughter attends.She saw him on campus one day ,walked over to him,introduced herself and asked if she can get a picture with him.I have that picture in my phone.He had a nice conversation with her asking what she is thinking of majoring .She told him that she had not decided.Then they began discussing basketball.She told him that she was on her HS Basketball team but wanted to concentrate on her studies rather than try out for the college team.My granddaughter became very good friends with a player on the college team who lives in Israel.Her friend was in my house May 6 in between flights going home.They spent time in Israel last week.
  11. I was fluent in 6 languages having been in a language honors program in high school.My wife is fluent in several languages as were my parents. We have been on excursions where we were able to converse with tour guides.
  12. My granddaughter who may be spending her junior year of college in either Australia or the UK may be going to Australia next year for 8 weeks to study at a university.The students are chosen based on the grades they receive.She will find out in January if she will be doing this .
  13. I told you once that one of my son in laws (he has the dog who predicted the winner of Survivor) works with the son of a a Rangers immortal.He also works with the daughter of a Yankee Great who is in the HOF.It is not Paul O’Neill but my next house neighbor who is a huge Yankees fan also wears a Paul O’Neill jersey when he goes to Yankee Stadium.
  14. My granddaughter who just returned from Israel was in my house this afternoon.She took 2000 pictures.When I went to someplace out of NY I took about 10 pictures. Two interesting things to her in Israel we’re seeing more stray cats than anywhere she had ever been and a restaurant Brooklyn Pizza. Whenever my children and grandchildren are in a different state or country they bring me back tee shirts as well as other gifts.Today I received a New York Mets but written in Hebrew,a newspaper from May 15,1948 the day that ISRAEL became a state a book of Jerusalem postcards.
  15. The OP said she or he could not find the DL ,not the passport.
  16. I have never been asked to show a Drivers License ,only a passport.
