I almost forgot in the midst of craziness at work (we're trying to open a new store in under a month), the snow (two inches and the whole city's at sixes and sevens), and hanging out with my new friend James...
Sweet. But I have doubts about you ever getting a car.
I ran errands yesterday morning and ran into the same young man at the bus stop catching the 105, and later at the same intersection, different direction, to catch the 21. Weird. Anyway, he caught my attention because he was wearing a kippah. He was also wearing black loafers, straight-legged black pants, a thigh-length black wool coat over a gray sweater, short beard... the quintessential young Jewish scholar. Then when I asked him if he knew when the next bus was scheduled to arrive, he replied in a heavy British accent, the kind that makes you think of scruffy workmen and Eliza Doolittle's father, so thick and coarse-sounding that I thought my ears would twist around backwards. It was also about 20 degrees out, but he popped into the minimart for a cold drink.
