For everyone in the Northeast, I'm sure you will concur - this weather really sucks. It feels as though we jumped from spring to fall - Summer? What's that?
Alici's Halloween Invite
I'm thinking it will rain on Halloween - naturally, of course. It's been years since I actively promoted an event (since The Limelight days...1986+) - this Halloween, I am throwing a huge party at Alici's. It's the first time we have been able to get the staff involved, which always makes a difference - whether an event is successful or not. I really hope that the weather is dry and pleasant.
I think that within a few years, I am going to go somewhere warm and moderate like as in....Somewhere, anywhere on the Mediterranean. I've been thinking quite a bit about small villages, coffee in sidewalk cafes, people that care and a smashing villa (whitewashed walls, breezes and all) overlooking the sea.
Honestly, I'm tired - I'm not complaining, it's just that everywhere I look - there is a battle of some sort. When I was child, I don't recall such a pervasive feeling of indifference. Maybe I'm wrong, but it just seems that people (not all, of course) simple don't give a shit anymore about the law, social propriety...Life!!!!! Kid's are killing each other over nothing - evidently, respect for human life does not rank as a priority anymore. "Hypocrisy","Lying" and "Deception" are a few (out of many) social skills, that are needed in order to be successful. Of course, this is just my observation.
I told Musa that within 21 months - our lives will be very different.
Why 21 months and not 24 or 36...why say "month" as opposed to "year" ?
Time is a funny thing - any given "month" can seemingly offer flexibility and perspective within a reasonable period of time, whereas a "year" can seem stagnant and endless.
It's been about 18+ months since Rich died and it seems like he called me just yesterday - I can still hear his voice, I can see his smile...it's so strange not having him in the world, anymore. I grew up with Rich, we were 7/8 yrs old when we met. I remember when e were about 10 or so. he told me that he was going to marry me one day - I giggled and said "I am going to have your children". How in world did we know that?
Richie was always "decent" and "kind" - in fact unless someone was first class jerk, everyone was treated with respect and courtesy.
When Rich was a cop, everyone respected and liked him. I think the only time, he would lose it is when they would bust a Hasidic Rabbi doing the nasty with a hooker - the hypocrisy was infuriating. He would bring home their mug shots and put them in an album. If you've ever lived in NY, you would understand.
Anyway....
I have to go and finish the construction on the last apartment in my building. I'm giving it to my dad, so that he can finally have a home of his own. I want him to be happy and secure. Maybe, just maybe Kathleen (I know you're reading this :) ) might just decide to come up for an extended visit...or better yet, she can just move in with the g-man.
Later Alligators!
