"Visit?"

Harry, you practically live on here

And of course you notice he HAS to come off even in this very post as
better than everyone else!! Hence, he's making your original post all
the more correct!

I know your post was meant to be funny and it was, but maybe you
need to
communicate with a better class of friends on FB. I have a lot of FB
friends but only about 60-65 of them are close friends, many of whom
I've known since junior high and high school. We all know each other
very well, and I meet up with bunches of the Connecticut ones each
year.

I visit rec.boats mainly to see what the couple of crazies here are
doing, and to stay in loose touch with a couple of old buddies. This
usenet group is pretty much a dead horse, and certainly not a place to
share boating fun.

yeah, yeah, yeah......

Hey, you're one of the "couple of crazies."

My Connecticut buddies spoil me about once a month with "care packages"
from Katz's Deli and Barney Greengrass in NYC. We like the smoked
whitefish and sturgeon and bialy.

It's about impossible to find good smoked fish or quality pastrami down
here in southern Maryland, and driving 60 miles around the Beltway to
Montgomery County, Maryland, is a pain in the ass. Plus, once you get
there, you're in overcrowded, traffic-jammed Montgomery County.

Don't you visit NYC frequently? Lots to do, lots to see, great
restaurants for every palette and pocketbook. I even found a famous
eatery that's been there for years that I've never had the pleasure of
visiting:

http://www.russanddaughters.com/

Yeah, yeah, yeah.. got about five words in...

So, you don't visit NYC frequently. Your loss.

I've been to NYC twice. First time I decided I didn't want to go
back.. Second time, to prove my first instinct was correct.

I've been several times, and actually lived there for a year and a half.
I go to NYC when I HAVE to, not when I WANT to, because I don't want to!

I grew up within easy car or rail trip to NYC, and took my first "solo"
trip (no parents, but with another guy my age) in the 7th grade on a
Friday, stayed at a hotel, and on Saturday went to see La Boheme at the
Metropolitan Opera. Very special "student" rates, almost free. We were
in a balcony and all I remember of the performance was the decolletage
of "Mimi."

I lived in New York for a while. Nothing but good memories.

7th grade and his idea of fun is going to see La Boheme. You must have
been a LOT of fun and the ladies must have been all over you!! NOT.

The entire trip was a lot of fun, since it was my first trip to NYC
without my parents. The music teacher at our public junior high hondled
the school a bunch of tickets to the Met, and we got in for a few bucks,
got to stay at a NYC hotel, and went to see the movie of West Side Story
the next day. I misspoke, though, it was when I was in the 8th grade,
not the 7th grade. I was lucky enough to grow up in a small city with a
lot of cultural events and at a time when life was easier and safer, so
there were always concerts and cheap tickets available for us school
kids, and teachers willing to make the extra effort to get us in to see
special shows in New Haven, Hartford, NYC and once, even Boston. Pretty
heady stuff for junior high schoolers back then.

As for the girls, they had no problems finding boys like us more than
willing to accompany them to dances, concerts, parties, movies, et cetera.

La bohème is a wonderful opera. I've seen it a half dozen times since my
first time.

There's a first-rate movie of the opera available:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SNAeTk-ze0

Here's a very young Anna Netrebko singing one of the opera's
famous aria. Ms. Netrebko worked as a janitor to pay her way through
music school.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWnWivspwRE

And here she is as a top professional in La Traviata:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJJ1zFBWgY


I'm sure it is not to your taste. Hope you have a wonderful time
watching the StuporBowl.
