I used to go to a diner like the one in the movie Diner.
On a Friday or Saturday night all the regulars would go there after their dates to discuss the dates.
It was the York Diner in Brooklyn,NY
I had two very close friends in HS .One became very famous and we reconnected 13 years after graduation .The other one was an ordinary guy with an ordinary life .When zi reconnected with him it was just like your friend .Whereas the guy who became famous was so happy that I contacted him and the first thing he said was that we have to get together as soon as possible.
I have a former co-worker friend who will be 94 this year.She moved to Fla after her husband passed away.She began cruising at age 90.We speak by phone very often.She grew up in the UK and refused to call me by my first name when we worked together saying it was not proper.Now she calls me Lenny.
My HS Geometry teacher was teaching exercise classes in Fla at age 99
My mother had a sister who was a Senior Olympics winner at age 99 and lived to be 107.
I have a neighbor who was drafted by the Phillies.He played in the Minors then gave up.A former co worker was drafted by the Dodgers .He made it up to Double A.
One of my HS friends,Roger Brown played for the Indiana Pacers and is in the Pro Basketball HOF.Another guy who I knew when I was in HS had a bit of an NBA career as a player and a Coach ,Billy Cunningham.
A guy who posts on other CC threads about Sorrento’s pizza being awful was on several RCI cruises that I have been on .On every cruise he was sitting at a table eating much more pizza than I did.
I never sign up for the ability to read test results.Even though Toby and I have the capability of understanding what would be in the report we rely on our doctors to give us the results.
