Let's Do It

I do not remember what we talked about.  I think we were very open-hearted, and that I told her, what I could not have mentioned to anybody else. --THE OLD CHEVALIER, from SEVEN GOTHIC TALES by Isak Dinesen 
Alan sweetly sent a postcard from Boston.  The card depicted Springtime Magnolias and it made me think of the street I grew up on in Alameda: Magnolia Drive.  I showed mom the magnolias, too. 
Alan was attending a Birthday Bash for his friend, Andy O'Connell.  They were business associates in the bond trading business.  Andy worked for First Boston while Alan worked for Kidder-Peabody.
Alan's step-dad, Jack 'Israel' Cohen, was also on business in Boston, so Alan was meeting him for dinner at some posh seafood restaurant. I asked, "Does that mean you get Boston Clam Chowder or New England Clam Chowder and I don't?"  
11/12/93 Can you imagine one week in New England?  Boston, Providence, Cape Cod, New Hampshire, Vermont...it’s different, but let’s do it.  There are so many things I want to show you and share with you. See You Soon, Love,  Alan  
They keep playing this song called "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" by MEATLOAF.   Everyone's loving it.
Mom and I did enjoy Carlito’s Way and Remains of the Day; however, I think we liked THE PIANO most because of the period piece and the music.   “I have to buy that CD for the music.  I love that piano music, don’t you?” I asked mom. “Yes, I do too.” “I like to sleep to piano music.” 
The time passed too quickly during mom’s visit.  She accompanied me to LAX to pick-up Alan at the airport.  Even that errand was fun to do with her.   “Don’t worry mom, I’ll be in Alameda before you know it.” I look forward to Thanksgiving at her house later this month. 
Writing HELPS me to control myself.   I was especially careful to keep my spirit free from worries. --Adolfo Bioy Casares, THE INVENTION OF MOREL
