The wheel turns.<br /><br />I found out that a woman I lived with for a couple years had died of cancer last November at 52.<br />My last memory of her was my storming out of the apartment after she returned from taking my car to Vegas without telling me. It was a stormy relationship.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-29576975651571334432012-07-08T10:40:44.874-05:002012-07-08T10:40:44.874-05:00Z
Lost in the discussion of the Catskills was it ...Z<br /><br />Lost in the discussion of the Catskills was it really was what happened next after vaudville. The focus has been on the comedians but there were other acts. People read plays and did musicals. There were all types of dancers.<br /><br />There were Yiddish folks sonds, opera and the discussion of books, history set against a changeing world. My parents are somewhat unusual in that they were both Broadway buffs and into painting. In order to get me to go to Ballet would require firearms. They also loved the opera and were ordinary middle class folk.<br /><br />It is funny but when I lived on Fifth Avenue with a supermarket heiress they assumed she was civilizing me. In reality she had never been to a show or an art gallery. <br /><br />I have litterally been in three seperate career paths. Catskills to Garment Center was classic. Garment center to federal officer is unheard of. I envy those who stay in one place and don't have to reinvent themselves.<br /><br />Oddly, the Catskill days come in handy when I used to MC dinners for Guyanese charities. I did that a few times and it doubles the reciepts. However, I am not planning any more as it is alot of work. I usually just make a donation<br />these days.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-47373131967348421812012-07-08T10:16:47.240-05:002012-07-08T10:16:47.240-05:00I had a high school friend look me up, she saw som...I had a high school friend look me up, she saw something I'd written in the paper and somehow found a sister of mine and wrote to her.....it's been fabulous! I've seen her maybe five times in 1 1/2 years and we picked up like we hadn't had a halt to our friendship of nearly 30 years!<br /><br />It's sad to find someone we remember's died, particularly died young...<br /><br />Beak...you've known fascinating people......lucky them!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-38050561555102281942012-07-08T08:44:21.590-05:002012-07-08T08:44:21.590-05:00I guess life is full of surprises.
Being more pros...I guess life is full of surprises.<br />Being more prosperous is not something that would bother me as by nature I am the type to say good for you.<br /><br />Some of these finds are mysterious.<br />Yet I am convinced it is much better<br />to have never had it then to have had it and lost it. As I never reached the upper statospheres except for a two year period when I lived on Fifth Avenue it is no big deal. <br /><br />Even when I lived on Fifth, I cooked my own meals and was very modest. A good book a cold drink and a gentle breeze was all I needed. The pretentious showing of wealth was not for me.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11044955.post-64352420448653001342012-07-08T07:49:37.980-05:002012-07-08T07:49:37.980-05:00I, too, have been looking up some of my old friend...I, too, have been looking up some of my old friends on the Internet. No exciting types except that the class clown became a very prominent private detective in Hollywood. <br /><br />I did learn, however, that the minister who performed our wedding ceremony died some years back of cancer. He was so young! Not even 50!<br /><br />Most of my friends went on to be much more prosperous than I. C'est la vie. It is obvious from my research that those prosperous ones aren't particularly happy.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.com
