The Sidewalks of New York City....

All Apologies, Updated, Edited Version:

We were having cocktails (gin mixed with champagne is never a good idea...).  Just then we noted that we were out of beer and tobacco, then bowed out gracefully for some shopping and an extended promenade.  As we approached the "EL" (elevated train; subway), where loads of people were disembarking, as it was still rush hour, we then locked eyes with this positively sexy man in his prime, with two guitars strapped to his back, looking for something...
Indeed!
He was looking for a flame, unfortunately only the kind that lights a cigarette....

The Story of Our Life...


Anyway, when that incredibly romantic brief tryst was over, after we light his cigarette,  we went on our way, and behind us we heard a "SLAP!".  We needed beer so we did not turn around....


The Indian guys at our new bodega have warmed up to us now & we have gotten very used to not staring at the bull's-eyes in the middle of their foreheads, they have been very gracious since they realized that we are a regular customer. We then left and began to back-track, and right where we lit the cigarette, on the sidewalk was a music book, obviously dropped & not discarded...

Thinking about the spats going on in the apartments of New York, and that pretty and groovy boy, we decided we had to know what song the book had been flopped open to....

Therefore,
 We Returned to See...
(kind of like Tarot, don't you think?)....

  3. Honestly the first thing that came to mind was, "Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water".

    Always hated that song.

    I thought it would have been appropriate to ruin the mystique of the man in his prime by a really bad street performance of it.

  5. What a wonderful post honey! I always drink gin by itself, it never mixes with others very well and a good night always ends badly and one wakes up in a bed with three people!!!!!!!!

  6. Gin and champagne...sounds like a French 75 to me and I know from past experience that they are lethal!
