Richard, this funny and charming piece is something to kvell about! Please consider finding a wider audience for it--maybe the New York Times, as one of the humorous opinion pieces they occasionally run.

By the way, Joe and I have made our travel plans for New Orleans. We'll be there May 9th till the 16th. Let's find a way to meet up then! I just hope it won't be extremely hot then, as I for one will be totally schvitzing.

Thanks, Laura! I'm glad you liked the piece. The Times! I keep trying, they keep saying no. Oy!

That's great you and Joe are coming. Is this partially because of Jazz Fest? I will absolutely make a point of coming over to see you guys! Save me one dinner at least!

Look up Poshkudnik and think who first comes to mind.

I looked it up, but I think everyone who does will have a different person come to mind.

Beautiful, funny (laughed out loud at the end, I did!), and delightful! Agree with Laura O'Keefe--it deserves a wider audience.

Merci, Richard. Une histoire qui met de bonne humeur, de bon matin. Does Manon understand any Yiddish?

Not yet. But she often acts meshuggeneh, that's for sure. Thanks for reading!
