NYTimes editorial subhead: "The return of riders to the Staten Island ferry on Thursday morning was a testament to the resilience of Staten Islanders." I guess that's true if by resilient they mean "broke," "overextended," and/or "working for heartless employers." (As many people are these days--hello? NYTimes?)

once a week i have been eating where ever i want but with some reserved approach, one week 360 was fantastic, last week was Rose Water which can be very good and both places are fantastic folks, this saturday i will do the two new dishes at wd~50 (6;00 at the bar if anyone is free, followed by an app at Wash Park and one other place, 4 app's at 3 spots)....
Diet is going, I believe I have lost 5 pounds, I feel no healthier, but I hope my cholesterol is down......I have been going out a bit more than I should, but no desserts, not butter, etc....friend was in town last night so we did El Cid, tasty, lots of protein for Linda......

Speaking of cat problems, how about the guy who raised a tiger and a 5-foot caiman (alligator-like reptile) in a Harlem public housing apartment? (Sorry for the web-hostile Times link.) Has this been on TV yet? It almost reads like an April Fools story. I'm guessing Rush Limbaugh and his ilk will have a field day with it.
well, i'm not the only one with cat problems
