((although sundays between about 1:30 & 6:00 the place is packed with the coming majority dressed in their "sunday" best))
next door? a sushi bar. next door? a grand opening--"ghost chili" a tex -mex theme.
2 doors down? anthony's pizzaria

2 doors down
the amazon cafe (salads wraps and smoothies)
3 doors down.

(angle of vision)
men's proclivity to sexual scandal may very rightly be gender-biology driven
i offer a repose
what aboot' cleopatra?
i think "power" has much ado'
we just have not had enough .... women in charge
PS: penis vs. vagina?
i am not convinced...
PSS: absolute power corrupts...
PSSS: for every scandalous man
was a willing woman...
and i am absolutely sure
the opposite is true.

ANOTHER ASIDE:
1 YOUNG LADY IN THE PUBLIC HOUSE IS A DEAF MUTE.
well, sometimes she jumps up & down and wails' or grunts or shrieks
(i asked: is this your impersonation of courage the cowardly dog?)
another time i said
"sorry, i never studied that non-language"
(god love her) ((do not care what he thinks of me))
i helped train her. if there was ever an example of a teacher failing to communicate some of the very basics
(ie: work clean, clean as you go, food safety, cross contamination,if you empty it -fill it)
she's a whirl-wind. there is more food on the floor than on the plate when we get busy...
i call her hurricane helen ( i am good but i aint no anne sullivan)
please put her at the other end of the cooking line. thank you.
((of course-1 order called that i prepare parmesan encrusted chicken breast for a salad that she would complete.
i walked the chicken to the other end of the line and placed on her table. 2 minutes later she's barking and jumping
in my work station))
"It's On Your Work Table. i thought you were deaf, not blind!"
(funny how when you yell at the hearing impaired they become better lip readers).
((dramatic pause))
Last year we had a cook with let's say a hyperactivity "problem"
clanging knives as if they were drum sticks
howling into the kitchen microphone
i could not take it anymore.
"i think hurricane helen just signed me and said shut up you are giving her a fucking head ache!"
he took offense
PS: he's not with us anymore.
(go figure)
PSS: a few weeks after... after the rush
a hush...
i said to g.m.
(silence is golden)
"that's the sound of no more shaggy"

LEAD BY EXAMPLE
Actions speaker louder than words. walk the talk. where the rubber meets the road...
(enough with the cliches)
i met a man a number of years ago from another country, living and working here legally.
he is a few years younger than i and his english is better than most in the kitchen-yet not good enough
for us to enjoy full conversation. his mind is alert and inquiring...
stock market, 401 k, tell me about...
some periods for him are great, overtime available. he works hard and good.
some not so great. no o.t. (you get used to it but hey, that's the way it works)
i counseled him- go get a part-time job. then arrange your hours between the 2 the best you can.
he did.
now he is working 6 days a week-steady (as i)
he's pulling 60 hours a week(10 or so less than i-i said- he's younger)
our kitchen manager comes to me about 6 months later- i am leaving
transfer-to his betterment.
"who's coming in to replace?"
"no one. front of the house will have to pitch in."
"no no no this is not going to work..."
"they are trying to save money by cutting admin cost."
"hear me out-rico is working 6 days-60 hours for $700 a week.
offer him a day-50 hour work week for same. he will jump at the chance-he speaks spanish
and he will be the lowest paid kitchen manager in the company"
"go sell it to inter-galactic ivory white tower headquarters"
he did (with a little help from his friends)
and now rico is the kitchen boss.
and now rosaria and maria have taken on 2nd jobs...
PS: protect your eggs in multiple baskets...
(don't quit your day job)
at the end of the day...

TALKING HEADS
On my T.V. set
(or)
A open letter to "the greatest generation"
(sez brokaw)
i am a product of the" silent generation"
mostly
for from there is where
my values were formed.
(claims psychology)
On my T.V set...
"Failure to raise the debt limit is financial armageddon!"
"If we fail to reach agreement by aug. 2 it will trigger a collapse of the financial system worse than lehman brothers"
IF we do not?
we can pay the bond-holders,interest on the debt &
we can pay medicare, medicaid, and social security
military pay is also covered.
(under this scenario)
the federal government will be forced to cut 44% of what remains.
(this is according to the budget office)
"The president has offered $3 in spending cuts for $1 in revenue(tax)increases"
(chris wallace)
Tea-Party representatives will not raise taxes. That's how they got elected.
(they signed a pledge with grover norquist)
((and they promised their constituents.))
so where do we the people go from here?
much more learned people than i seem not to know either...
let me offer this:
the "estados unidos" population rate is nearing 0%
(it will take a decade)
russian,japanese, and germanic populations have been declining for years...
what's exploding in this great country is the # of older people.
young, educated people have awokin'. they are not having children.
they know that their parents may become their children (financially speaking)
who else is going to pay for these entitlements?
as a member of the end of the "baby boomers"
i plead: hey "greatest generation"- i am willing to change the rules.
i am willing to push retirement age and reduce benefits for people my age moving forward...
shared sacrifice.
Tell me now. (we have reached a pivotal point in history to not just kick the can...)
i need to plan.
as to you who have outlived your benefit ((do the frigging math)) and do not need it anyway...
renounce any more gov't checks...
{if f.d.r knew you was gonna live this long
he wouldn't have taken such good care of you.}
PS: rip up your aarp cards
(someone must speak-mr. linkletter is gone)
do not become your children and their childrens
beneficiaries
they are your legacy...
PSS: some peoples kids say the darndest things ...

truth
1st revealed is ridiculed
later
it is debated
later still
it is realized as self-evident
PS: Truth n. an ingenious compound of desirability and appearance.
Discovery of truth is the sole purpose of philosophy, which is the most ancient occupation of
the human mind and has a fair prospect of existing with increasing activity to the end of time.

THE IRONY
In the previous posting...
as we streaked in-
the check was being presented to the bereaved.
(i think that was why the teacher was so angry)
{ i could see the anchor in his eyes-kip)
i do not blame him
(i did something reckless and stupid and funny and gross
at exactly the wrong moment
yet
everybody there remembers...
and i feel like "house"
not my problem...

STREAKING
( the light fandango)
1975
running naked in public became the fad
(this is not your mother's hula-hoops)
{not no more}
a benefit basketball game betwixt the 2 faculty's of my home town high schools-
to raise $ for the bereaved parents of a girl student whom died in a car crash.
i sat with friends.
Tried to convince 1 to streak with me at 1/2 time
he said: i need beer
we went out back-he chickened as another (whom i had never met, was berating his friend for same)
"you wanna go?"
we went.
in thru the back door
to the foul line
raised our hands-hooped and hollared
spun and run....
i returned to my seat.
a friend said- "you missed it-2 guys just streaked-where were you"
monday at school...
my bestest friend asked
you went to the game-(he did not attend) ((hebrew school-me thinks))
{i'd ask you home for dinner, but we are having hamburgers
and you don't do ham, mosha dayan
and (gross me out, issac temple) we will wash it down
with milk}
i digress...
he asked
who streaked!?
"me and some other guy"
no-you are lying to me.
last class of the day
i am aboot' to leave here living in quiet anonymity
mr. bruener
science
"silent read chapter 13 as i hand back your tests"
a question from behind
"who won the basketball game?"
ask your classmate
i saw him there...
(i winced)
when he arrived at my desk
he offered my scored test.
i remained eyes down
and took the paper of which he would not let go.
until
i raised my gaze and met him eye to eye...
(if looks could kill)
PS: my bestest was sitting next to me
on the way to separate buses
he exclaimed:
Oh my god!
you streaked at the faculty basketball game!
PSS: and you go work on a kibbutz over summer vacation!
PSS: this was my 2nd foray
the 1st was a hop-hog (sic) night along the highway
with sir harris and 2 of his home-boys
{do not place your beanies upon your weanies
tonight, you are gentiles}
PSSSS: show me your circumcision
(the cars were a 'honkin and a flashin' their beams...

frat life
i instructed the pledge class of '79
to slip a note under the door of a sorority president
announcing a "candlelight"
cut the words (letters) of the note from magazines and/or newspapers
sign it, sister x
(a candlelight occurs when a sister has been "pinned" (remember the day's?)
or engaged)
a few days later, the spies reported back.
the alpha phi's held their vigil
the candle was passed from sister to sister
and then back to the beginning...
(the pinned or engaged is supposed to blow it out)
"we've been had"
later, at an off campus mixer
the pledge class had to put on a play
for the phi's and their future brothers.
to conclude:
the 7 pledges lit a candle
passed it
and the 7th blew it out and said
"hi, i'm sister x"
ha ha ha ha.....
PS: 15 years later i call ramada in pittsburgh
