kumquats, polyseme, and Happy Birthday Sam
.JPG)
I took a drive to the upper west side last night and had some Indian dinner with Ira, Dorel, and Michael Vivian. Afterwards we went back to Dorel's and had licorice tea with her home made kumquat walnut bread. Ira sang old TV jingles impeccably, and we discussed polyseme. Then I drove back to Great Neck in a gentle rain to pick up Evy at Frankie's. We watched some old SNL sketches on TV, then went to sleep.
Today is Sam's birthday.
But, it was also the day of Ben's first birthday party.
And so after a sweet party at Danny and Wendy's - with Sue, Dahlia and Jonathan, Jamie and Rachel and Sasha, Meredith and Stu and Ryan, Evy and Frankie, Myla, Sam and me - I went to out to Wild Ginger for a Birthday dinner for Sam with Myla and Evy and, of course, Sam. He warned us that if anyone sang Happy Birthday, or if a special cake was brought to the table, he would immediately get up and leave. He wasn't kidding, and it was very tempting.
Then, back at Myla's, we played a game of Scrabble, which Sam won (beating Evelyn 221 to 220) after which Sam improvised a deeply passionate and completely nonsensical Cantorial Hymn.
