TBW Daily Diary

Pleasant time last night with Rick, Eric, Maryann and Joanne. Lots of nice nibbles courtesy of Bob . . . Fun day for the most part. First visitor was Paul, a Russian native now living in Manhattan and working for Credit Suisse. He, his wife and young son live on the Upper West Side. He has been in the country for two years but is still mystified by some of our customs. He may continue to linger here, but thinks he might prefer London . . . Next in were two young ladies, one from Hoboken, N. J., and the other from Texas . . . After, an almost continuous line of shoppers getting ready for the holiday weekend. Didn't get a lot of inventory work done, needless to say . . . Copies of the latest issues of TheBurg and Central Voice are now available . . . The kid and his sister stopped by after school. JJ is into the Mario Brothers computer games. I haven't the slightest idea of what is going on, but I am impressed with his dexterity on the keyboard . . .
