TromboneAl,
Thanks for remembering me and asking. I assure you the rumour (English spelling) of my demise is under-rated.

I just visited NYC to rent a condo and saw your likeness on the marquee in Times Square or maybe it was Letterman. In a little club around the corner at 330 W. 48th St. some dudes were playin Albert Collins "I Ain't Drunk, I'm just Drinkin" and they added a trombone player to the mix but I noticed that he couldn't play fourth line bass clef to fourth line treble clef, so I knew it wasn't you.

There's a large guitar shop on 50th St. (I think) and they will let you play any of the used equipment they sell so I spent some time doing Coco Montoya's "I Can't Get My A$$ in Gear" and Joe Bonomassa's "Faux Martini" for the crowd of 3. But it was a 1960's Les Paul Classic with Tobacco Burst finish and so it may have sounded a little slow. $2,999 seems like a bargin.

As for me, thanks for asking, I'm doing well with all things healthwise, and still trying to find my way home. As a very good friend pointed out
Søren Kierkegaard felt he was an exception to life and a solitary wanderer, maybe I'm just lost. I musta got lost

I read the board but feel like I outlasted my over-stay.

Looks like you had a great time in Hawaii.

And mja, are you mj, if so, how is the wandering going?

To all, if ever in NYC look me up, if I haven't been killed by then I'll gladly show the city, which according to sources, nearly everyone is carrying.
Cheers,
OAP

EDIT: Several mist speelings?

OAP -

I read your blog frequently, but I must have missed this. A while back I thought you had a picture up of a building in Chicago that you were going to live in starting this spring. Am I remembering correctly?

OAP, good to hear from you. The prodigal cyperpatient, back in his groove.

Where'd you get the idea you overstayed your welcome here? Jump in.

Best,
Rich

gindie,
You are correct and thanks for reading the blog, it's kinda fun to put pictures of SF and info about this wild place for others to see. A great city. The last month I'm here I want to take 100 pictures per day and some how get them on the internet. It should be fun.

I was thinking of staying here and buying a condo in the new development (Rincon) area South of Market area (SOMA) but most are not due to finish till 2008-2010 and I need a new adventure.

BTW, one of them is going to be 100 floors. Right at the TransBay station.

So, it was either:
1. Try to fake another illness that put me in hospital for a year here.
2. Or move to NYC.

I flipped a Hondurian flour tortilla and it came up burnt side down. So NYC it was.

Still may do a pre-build buy on a condo. Both NYC and SF have way outperformed the housing market. Small amount of land, lots of buyers, hmmmm.

And mja, are you mj, if so, how is the wandering going?

Sorry, I think that would be someone else; though I have enjoyed reading your blog the last few months. Especially enjoyed the entries about minimalist living/packing.

 

[OldAgePensioner]

Rich,
Thanks for the warm welcome.

Cyberpatient? = Ephemeral but quietly and steadily persevering or diligent, esp. in detail or exactness: a patient worker.

Met with Dr. Mo...... at S-K and may be in his study within 90 days if all goes well.

OAP, good to hear form you. Stick around for a while.

 

[donheff]

Welcome back OAP. I missed your posts. DW and I visit NYC every few months. Our daughter is up there at NYU. If you will be living there I will look forward to some great off beat suggestions in your blog.

 

[OldAgePensioner]

mja,
the minimalist/packing thing worked great on this trip. I am considering a cross country drive for the move. I vacate here on May31 and can't move-in till Jul 14, and I may rent a scooter or a Cooper Mini, put on a knap sack and head out.


Joe, I'm gonna PM you later. But thanks for the invitation.

donheff, thanks, I certainly will be finding the off beat (my speciality) and I will mo-def(most definintely) keep you posted. They are going to have a nude bicycling parade (like SF does each year) that's always fun If my friend Athena decides to participate, I will definitely be there.

 

[TromboneAl]

Glad to hear from you.

I was thinking of you because of all the beautiful oriental women I saw in Hawaii.

 

[OldAgePensioner]

Al,
let me guess, small exquisite bodies, shiny black hair, smooth light brown skin, bright smiles with even brighter white teeth, shiny eyes with large black irises, and little thong ......... errrr I mean, highly educated, articulate, nahh, let's face it you were perving on em.

Let's see, perving and remembering OAP, that does fit.

Well, I for one live vicariously through you..........

 

[Outtahere]

Good to see you OAP, can't wait to hear of your adventures in NYC.

 

[OldAgePensioner]

FinanceDude,
You must've sneaked past without buying the 25cent tokens at the front counter from my manager Guido, sometimes vicarious is dangerous to the SA and AV nodes of the heart, especially when petite Asian women thoughts are flowing into the stream of consciousness.

Outtahere, we'll compare trip notes off line. I think our trips were to opposite ends of the Poles. You'll appreciate a couple of things I saw. Just for laughs.

Nothing wrong with petite Asian women, I had the fortune of dating a few........... But I settled on the petite Midwest farmer's daughter strawberry blonde instead............

 

[OldAgePensioner]

FinanceDude, yeah, I "settled" on few mid-West farmer's daughters but just never married one, yet anyway.

If you want to hear something that will make you smile, listen to Deirks Bentley(sp?) singing "What Was I Thinking". It's about dating a farmer's daughter and actually very fun song.

NOTE: I suspect TromboneAl's PM Inbox is loaded with irrate emails saying "now look what you started" and "what were you thinking".

Nah, we luvs ya, OAP. The complaints wont start until you start posting suitably salacious pics.

 

[OldAgePensioner]

brewer12345,
you posted that you only went to Atlantic City once, well I went there in 70s and they had a Playboy Casino with nearly topless BJ dealers, errr, make that Black Jack dealers. Oh, and those Smokehouse type almonds had just came out and I must have eaten ten dishes of those per evening.

I was doing dumb things like hitting on 20 and holding at 9, so I might go back when I get settled in NYC.

Ask your dad if they have any topless Casinos. That would draw a nice crowd. Yeah, I'm starting to draw some mental images, having a few tipples and nuts. Or at least some things that rhyme with that.

 

[FinanceDude]

Am I the only one that wants to party with OAP??

Something tells me him and this retired frat boy could find a whole bunch of "trouble" in NYC.............

 

[brewer12345]

Ask your dad if they have any topless Casinos.

Not that I am aware, but you never know.

Actually, you are a little late fr it (closed a while back), but there used to be an S&M theme restaurant called La Nouvelle Justine in Chelsea. They had a "special menu" which involved various BDSM stuff being acted out with attractive waitresses in the middle of the place. No doubt there are similar entertainments to be found nowadays in Chelsea and environs.

 

[OldAgePensioner]

FinanceDude,
in Uni (as they call it in England), my best pal was House Manager for his Frat and I kinda got to be a regular but never joined. Oh, them frat parties, and them little sisters.

But, I plan to alter my behavior a bit in NYC and my plan is to cover the bedroom floor and walls with plastic tarp material and have:

Friday nights I'll host Nude Asian Women Oil Wrestling = NA-WOW night.

If the mods will allow I'll post pics. I be wearing black socks to the mid calf and have my face blacked out to preserve my identity.

But if anyone is in NYC on Saturdays and some old pervert walks buy smelling like Coconut Tanning Oil (looking tired but happy), it's probably OAP.

Brewer12345, my cheap prudish best buddy and his wife are very cheap and chose a place in Chelsea called Chelsea Lodge. That whole are is gay men now. Wait till he goes there, he's gonna die, I'll be dieing laughing.

Now THAT I would pay to see.........however, I think the mods will block you.........

 

[OldAgePensioner]

FinanceDude,
Funny story: I used to post on uncbasketball.com (now defunct) and the East coast mods were pretty posterior aperture retentive. So about midniight, several of us would start posting the most outrageous rumors, lies and stuff about basketball recruiting.

The West coast mod (Brownie) would actually join in and so between midnight and about 2-3 in the morning we would be trashing the East coast mods, the forum owner and other East coast posters. And making up stories about players (all the things that would get you banned quick)

So everyone on the West coast would see all these outrageous posts for 3-4 hours, then Brownie would delete it before hitting the sack.

Even multi-multi-millionaire agent Bret Bearup (former Kentucky player) would join in. Another one joining in was KIK84 who is a Wall St. broker and mega-millionaire.

I got to be pretty good offline pals with those guys and Bret offered to take me on the Paris basketball tournament tour he does every year. I couldn't cause I was in England and tied to work.

So there are end-runs, unless the board gets a mod in India or the Iran, the mods have to sleep sometime.

I hope the mods don't see this. I hit the "Cloak to Mods" button, I hope.
