I would also help you build that place. I have seen trains passing through here with what looks like downed houses (which my creative mind assumes are "foreclosed demolishings" - I don't have a novel for that - and it probably wouldn't make a good rock band name - although Dirty Projectors is).

I can't believe I was treated to a post from each of you in the same day!
Happy Birthday!
I get so New Jersey noivous writing to either of you fine ladies - or to schmivejournal or minn - such fun writers and I feel like I am at the Friar's club with only the jacket and not the wit.

So where is more of this excellent work you're doing? I hunger thirst for more - AND you always came up with such witty Halloween costumes, mine our obscurer than last year (I was Heath as the Joker - don't laugh - and my friend's parents hadn't seen DK and thought I was a raccoon...
you may laugh now.) What's your take on Twitter? I abhor Facebook.

Jourdannex: I wasn't able to get you lj to load all evening, wanted to share with you that I witnessed - heh - my first non-Black JW this past week - they were Hispanic and dressed to the nines, appeared to be meeting a new recruit who was happy to see them, he just had a t-shirt, and they had a Watchtower readily whipped out of their bag; these folks looked like seasoned NYC commuters - truly a first for me to see such things in JW-land.
