This not only applies to Facebook, but also most of Usnet, and a lot
here in rec.boats...

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:

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 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.
