  1. Not weather related but similiar.In 1965 I was working in mid-town Manhattan and on my way home only to find out that there was a blackout. I walked to Baruch College knowing that a friend would be there and he would be able to drive me home.I entered the student center and everyone was in a party mood .I hung out there till midnight and then got a ride into Brooklyn.
  2. Wow.Over the years I have sold many LP’s and made nice money doing so but I also have regrets about not keeping them.I still have 106 that I will never sell.
  3. I went to high school with a guy who was in a group in the late 50’s.They released a song on a 45.I spent years trying to find it with no success.I told Fred,owner of KAPE and a few weeks later there was a knock on my door.It was Fred with the record.I was so happy,I did not mind that it cost me $8.It was the worst song I ever heard . Coolio was a very nice guy ,very intelligent .I was so sorry to hear of his passing at age 59.
  4. I posted this before.My friends cat Duncan would sit on top of the TV and hit the screen with his tail and the TV would go off.I guess that was his way of saying he did not like what was on.
  5. A few years ago my BP spiked up to 200/100.My wife called 911 and I was taken to the closest hospital. That was the first time in my life that I had a BP problem.My primary doctor referred me to a Hypertention Specialist .He tried several medications till he found some that worked.I take 2 in the morning and one at night.I watch my sodium intake.By nature I am very mild mannered so I could not understand why it flared up .By Monday morning my BP was normal.I have a lot of medical issues and I am old so I guess I should be iucky that I am still on the planet.My two best friends passed away in 2020
  6. Tom and I met in an elevator .We had many conversations and he invited me to their Christmas party.I came with two of my co-workers and besides Coolio we met many other singers.They were all very nice to us.I am not sure if I asked you this previously but did you ever hear of KAPE ? The owner of that label lived across the street from me in the mid 80’s
  7. Every person on ship ,passenger and grew became ill.My wife said never again to cruise.However,for a special birthday for her a good friend of mine who was a TA planned a vacation which was a cruise.The next cruise was 14 years later.That was a cruise to celebrate her retirement.
  8. I am feeling better. Did you ever hear of the Record Label Tommy Boy ? That was the label that Coolio recorded on. I read an obituary about him earlier today. That was the label that was located in the building that my long time employer owned.I met Coolio at a building Christmas party in 1994 .
  9. Our second favorite cruise was in May 2008 to Alaska.We brought clothes for cold weather and the temperatures were at an all time high.
  10. All of mine are in mint condition . I have the ticket stubs from most .
