A reasonably attractive woman in her late 30s/early 40s whipped out a yellow highlighter and set to work on Chapter 20 - "What Really Scares a Man?" Obviously the book left out the tip about not highlighting in public.
An opinion poll this week claims more than 40% of
Americans would use genetic engineering to upgrade
their children mentally and physically if possible.
I would request slightly smaller thumbs for my kids so they could be superior texters.

TV news-crews get special training
Alan Johnston has now spent 100 days as a
hostage in Gaza. TV news networks are taking
no chance with other British foreign
correspondents. News hounds are being hurriedly
sent on Kidnapping Training courses.
And what are they told to do in the event
of being kidnapped?
"Tell them absolutely anything they want."
Perhaps I could start my own trainng course called Operation Get the Fuck Out!
Yup! I saw a Hasidic Jew surfing out on Rockaway. He had a long beard, tzitzit under his wet suit but no waterproof yarmulke. The best part is that according to BJ, the founder of Brothers on Boards, his wife surfs too and follows Jewish law by surfing in a skirt! My new mission this summer, besides finding a job is to get this on film. Stay tuned. (This isn't my rabbi, but I wanted a photo).
I need a writing partner. It's the missing link. I need someone to talk out the idea and then blow it up. Remember it was Seinfeld and Larry David. Now I need to find Seinfeld.... where do you look? Maybe I should take a class. I once took a sitcom writing class with a creepy old guy who won an Emmy for All in the Family as the teacher. He invited me to lunch and then back to his apartment on Beekman St. I'd never been to an apartment on Beekman St but I always associated it with this movie/book, Auntie Mame that I loved as a kid (still do). So I decided to go and check it out as an investigative research assignment (this used to be my rationalization when I used to do very stupid things - ie. be the only girl at an afterhours party in Bed Stuy before it was cool). Well I wasn't impressed at all! He lived in the left overs of an apartment that had been combined with the apartment next door. The whole place was decorated with pictures of him and Gloria, Meathead, etc. On the mantle was a framed note reading "Thanks for the flowers, Kat Hep" as in Katherine Hepburn. The memorabilia made it worth the trip but there was no way I was having an affair with a 68 year old before I went to the apartment and with only 1 window facing an alley I wasn't changing my mind. Next class he showed up with hair plugs!
Looking for a job is depressing. I wish I could start my own business but all my ideas make better sitcoms than business plans. For example -
The Insult Consultants - I'll help you come up with a plan of attack to tell someone off.
Driven to Distraction - Need to kill time, I'll distract you.
LR Dog - Yoga gear for people who don' t know their left from their right (this well be a hot seller as soon as I select the right font and metallic fabric paint).
Horoscope Interpreter - I'll analyze horoscopes from several reliable astrologers and apply them to your life on a daily basis.

Harvey
Walnuts - Spent $12 a day on walnuts to feed the Stuyvesant Town
squirrels. "I used to take my ex - wife out to dinner three times a
week," he said, "this is a lot cheaper than that or going on a date."
One-Eyed Rob - Crazy and sad Rob always looked with his one good eye for someone to have a deep conversation about nothing with. Recently purchased a Ginsu knife, but never got to use it since he left it at Walgreens when picking up his estrogen cream.
feLINDA - Linda, a one time rock n' roll groupie, overcame her severe allergies to cats so she could pursue her passion as an at-home feline caretaker. Nothing stopped her, not even the 2003 Blackout.
Wall Street Charlie - Lived in the apartment above Linda and supposedly bangs things on purpose.
The Sometime Hindu - Mohinder sometimes indulged in a juicy hamburger at Dynasty Diner.
Dynasty Restaurant - Customers raved about their decaf coffee, but here's the secret... it's not decaf. Open 24 hours except from Sunday. Everything there is good and cheap.
The Dynasty Duchesses - Every morning was Gay Pride Parade and if you were a good looking man they'd ask for more than your order.
Ma Bell - She drank at the Cove, but died on the corner when she hit her head on the curb. The had a disco themed memorial for her at the bar.
Tiger - The Cat that lived in 6F. He wonder around the neighborhood and then wait around until someone took up in the elevator.
