Oooo…March of the Ghouls–that sounds so cool!
Great post, Moose.

What a great post, I might steal the idea and replicate it for myself.

I’ll admit I’m impressed that your friend ate shrimp salad and cake after her kidney stones. Usually I’m on steady diet of saltine crackers and coke for several days after a bout with those vicious little wankers.

College in Manhattan. I can’t even imagine such a thing. Though I’d like to. I went to school at a huge Big Ten U. I have lots of good memories, but it was a farm town. Pretty different from city life.

Nora: The dorm was never actually on fire. But my 2 a.m. snack of Rice-a-Roni was.

Teej: Thanks! Blowing bubbles onto the streets of NY is one of the best things you can ever do. I recommend it to everyone.

SLP: Original thoughts are highly overrated.

Maw: Yeah, you did. I imagine you were concerned about the French brie going moldy before the box could make it through the US postal service.

NBB: Watching stern NYers jumping for bubbles was definitely an experience. And I can totally see you jumping to catch bubbles.

C&C: I think I’d be more scared to move back NOW than I was going there for college.

Jess: Audrey Hepburn in her sleeping mask in that movie is one of my favorite images.

Leah: Thanks!

Stephanie: Shrimp salad really does sound good. Note to self: Never think about shrimp salad when hungry and far from any form of food.

I don’t know if I would have been mature enough to land in NYC at just 18. Heck, I don’t know if I was even mature enough to move there when I was 22. By 25, though, I’ve got it figured out.
