    Let me say this, lest I forget.

    My oldest g'son has reading problems, so once had to go to summer school.

    His teacher was a volunteer from Wisconsin.

    That woman was one of the best teachers I've ever witnessed!

    She had him choose a book that he liked, read it to her, then explain it to her. Each day she sent home a note that detailed his progress. That boy would get up every morning just rarin' to go to school!

    I think those kids learned more in six weeks than they did the entire school term!

    They did so well that she celebrated by taking the whole group for pizza.

    I wish all teachers could be like her.

    How could I forget to mention those. Nothing like paying good money to see the game, only to be too drunk to remember anything.

    Snowbird,

    You are right about all the rest, but what's "lox?"

    (I moved from rural Mississippi to NYC at the age of 19.)

    So, here are some things I miss about NYC:

    Fresh (real) bagels

    Italian Ice

    Fresh-baked bread: Rye, Italian, Pumpernickel

    Southern Italian Couisine, with all of the seafood (down South, spaghetti is Italian, the horror)

    White Dove, poutine is a sloppy plate of delicious french fries smothered in gravy and topped with cheese curds. Unless the gravy is right, the poutine isn't good and any other kind of cheese is unacceptable. Ooh, a little drool escaped my mouth just thinking about it...
