Sigh. Technology. We didn't spot any Manhattan rats this time (certainly did the first time though in the mid 90s), but I'm sure you're right and there are plenty there, but just perhaps with a little less confidence and swagger than their brethren in da hood.

I don't know how many others read it. I read it to Gail regularly, and show her the photos. But you need to find a way to publish it as a book, or maybe a movie. I can't suggest who should play you and Lorraine. Pick your favourite actors! It would be an art movie, definitely an indie. Probably would make no money. But smart, serious people would discuss it at length in coffee houses. <br />Vicariously enjoying it all! <br />Craig<br /><br />PS: I don't know how to play backgammon either!Craig Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628940343802991973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252883600272375818.post-1570705206141248462015-08-10T16:43:26.263-07:002015-08-10T16:43:26.263-07:00Too funnyToo funnyMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12505556772515472154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252883600272375818.post-7488770069518281462015-08-08T14:08:25.362-07:002015-08-08T14:08:25.362-07:00Small world.Small world.mondotrashohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998442673403658550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252883600272375818.post-71802608875081527302015-08-02T22:43:05.006-07:002015-08-02T22:43:05.006-07:00I love how the giraffes bend down to drink.
