Back in Brooklyn

Back to Park Slope where we ate outdoors in the backyard garden of Pam and Ira's lovely old brownstone (Steve Buscemi's block) and then Abe  and I walked the old hood.  Went back to the Ansonia Warehouse on 12th Street where we had lived in a loft for 25 years.  A new dweller let us in and there we were on our roof with the most magnificent view of the NYC harbor and skyline.  Met up with good old neighbors Kristen and Bill and just shmoozed for an hour being up-dated on all the changes.  Then we walked to our favorite Bar/Grill JOHNNY MACK'S on 12th Street where we'll meet up with our guy Josh and his girlfriend on Saturday (it's been 8 months).  A visit to family friend Judy Cosme whose late  mother Maria  was Josh and Liz's After School teacher at P.S.107.  Oh yes, back to Brooklyn.  So far from Austin.  Both places have made their mark.
