Here We Go

Thanks to Susan Goldman for being the spark to get us together October 23 in Chicago.  While more details are being worked out, here's a recent stream to get oriented.


Sue flashback...think is was vienna, we were in a hotel, and across the hall, the sink fell off the wall in one of your rooms.


Brian Miller expansion:   

Your memory serves you correctly.

The room you refer to, did in fact, have a sink, tragically fall off the wall.

Quite possibly, allegedly due to some male/female hanky-panky.

(Yes, your visualization is probably correct.)

This was the same, official, JFK Memorial room where we:

1.) Paid homage to JFK's brilliant, "Ich bin ein Berliner!" speech.

This all evolved from an unfortunate mix-up, as some of us were under 

the mistaken impression that we were actually in Berlin.

2.) Fought for places on the couch to watch the maid, who with a very short skirt, made-up the beds.  She really looked quite incredible.  It was as if we were in a dream.

"Sure we'll miss St. Chuck's Cathedral, but we can see that anytime".

(I'm not making one word of this up, it was absolutely pathetic.)

3.) Sang: "Barbasol, Barbasol, Beard-Busting, Beard-Busting Barbasol" ad-nauseum.

4.) Created a quite impressive human pyramid.

5.) Upon our departure, it was inspected by the authorities and described as a "schweinplatz".

Our sweetheart maid had not saved us that day.

I'm sure others can expand on this Viennese Mardi Gras.

Ah, memories...
