A one-night frenzy determined by our Bronx son's schedule combined with our daughter's Brooklyn schedule and three of this young set working in Manhattan. Complicated, but we ended up in the restaurant (wonderful!) on Barrow Street (though we barely made it -- West Side Highway traffic hell!).<br /><br />Anyway, here's what I want to say. Last night was a wonderful redemption. Trying to pulse from the Bronx to the west Village (would Barrow Street always have been so designated? --I doubt it!), to one of those (relatively) new places you might feel nervous about, as we crawled rather than pulsed, I felt New York in that frustration. Home!<br /><br />The love in the frustration that you register superbly. Well, last night for us at least, the love won out. As you beckon always that it should. And it will.mchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-30773579418700333762014-10-18T19:07:15.467-04:002014-10-18T19:07:15.467-04:00ed, i can live w/out the V.V. the ink comes out on...ed, i can live w/out the V.V. the ink comes out on your fingertips & they specialize in advertising prostitutes. they havnt had a good writter since 1964. jeremiah will be reconized & awarded later across the board, & internationally.laura r.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-44733491645477793272014-10-18T16:20:14.753-04:002014-10-18T16:20:14.753-04:00i discoved JM while reading the NYtimes in 2010. w...i discoved JM while reading the NYtimes in 2010. what a facinating artical on ed hooper's "diner". the blog is a brilliant anthology. many other cities have met the same fate. never thought NY would be one of them.laura r.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-44899967433354966522014-10-16T21:02:51.766-04:002014-10-16T21:02:51.766-04:00For a second, I thought that you were portraying t...For a second, I thought that you were portraying the Village Voice as your next Vanishing institution.

One of my occupations is editing for different authors in various types of media ; and it always bugs me when I get the order to "make it shorter....it's for a website, and they only want 6 paragraphs" when the original piece is 6 pages long! (Sorry I didn't make my point more clearly.)<br /><br />And then again, maybe I'm just trollin' for more of you to read :+)DrBOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07179469265158025584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-19827303412734615462014-10-16T15:53:05.232-04:002014-10-16T15:53:05.232-04:00Congrats on the honor!

Not trying to be maudlin here at all.....you also make me laugh quite often. And it probably has something to do with the fact that I'm no spring chicken. But no, it's the fact that I'm tearing up about places I have never been, or remember VERY vaguely. 'Dat's good writin'! <br /><br />Thanks for ALL that you do.
