Antryg, that is great! Tell her the story about Dorothy Parker, the famous wit, who woke up after an illness to find herself in an oxygen tent. She asked her doctor, "Can I have a flag for my tent?" I was talking to a friend in Irving who was active with me in RPG's in the 1970's, and he was looking at one of the items on my bookshelves in my library, a pewter figure of Sherlock Holmes. He said, "I remember when you bought that at the Royal Guardsman that used to be in European Crossroads." Did you ever go there? We would play 1st Edition AD%D in the Clock Tower.

Well, those shoes may not be older than you, but did you really think I would wear my oldest shoes to the Galleria? With Galadria? My oldest shoes are really boots, my daddy bought 'em for me in 1967, so I'll bet that you are younger than them, whippersnapper. And, as for your Bachelor of Bioscience, I have a plain old B.S. from Tulane. We didn't have fancy degrees like that, then. You made do with what they offered you, and if you didn't like it ... you went out and organized a street demonstration against the Vietnam war. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Well I see that the Dr. Giggles' are in the house. Thanks for the sentiment my friends. Attalus, I have spent many enjoyable days at the old "Crossroads". My favorite place was actually the Chinese resturant across the street. I think it was called the Joy Inn. Since I never tripped over anybody in the clocktower I guess we were never there at the same time. I spent more time at Olla Podrida than the Crossroads though. That's another neat group of specialty shops that has closed and been bulldozed.
edit to add more blather. I played lacrosse against Tulane while going to Texas A&M. We got to stay in the locker room at the Sugar Bowl the night before we played. We didn't have antiwar protests at A&M. It was dangerous enough being a McGovern campaign worker. I also can't believe that anybody going to school in New Orleans didn't get in their fair share of parties. Just how serious a student were you? [ 02-17-2003, 09:05 PM: Message edited by: antryg ] |

Oh, dash it! The temperature has dropped to 49 degrees! If this keeps up, I shall have to wear a coat to work, tomorrow. *Grumbles, then stares blankly* You have another 12" of snow, Cloudy? Send it to 311 E. University St., Waxahachie, TX, 75165. Do not, repeat, do not, send it to anyplace in ZIP code 75169.
Antryg, the only political activities I attended in the '60's were YAF and Young Republicans rallies. *Fondles his 'Footprint of the American Chicken' lapel button*

Cloudy, IIRC Attalus complained about not having any snow. Send it to him. How´s work? I noticed that Lady Blue started the two most recent cafes. Of course maybe she just beat you to it. [ 02-18-2003, 08:21 AM: Message edited by: WillowIX ]
