When I was a kid and I told people my name was Mayer, I'd hear, "Oh, are you mayor of the city?" (Wow! That's a new one!)
When we told adults that my brother's name was Harvey, we'd sometimes hear, "Oh, is he 6 feet tall with ears pressed flat?" For a few years we had no clue where this came from. Adults are weird. Then we saw the Jimmy Stewart movie, "Harvey" and it finally made sense.
For those who don't know, the movie was based on a successful Broadway play. This December the Nashua Theatre Guild will be performing it, and it looks like I'm going to be the stage manager. I think it's a fitting tribute.
