Last night in Dallas, I saw Bill Cosby in concert. I snagged two free tickets and gave one to my colleague, Guillermo. The concert was only about an hour and I laughed maybe twice. I was never a huge fan of Bill Cosby although I loved Picture Pages and Fat Albert. [Mortimer the Marker & Picture pages, picture pages, now it’s time for picture pages, time for games and puzzles with Bill Cosby…grab a pencil or a pen, it’s time to have some fun again, it’s time to watch Bill Cosby do a picture page with you! & Na-na-na, gonna have a good time, Hey, hey hey!” & Mushmouth] The one funny part during the concert was when a heckler started screaming, “Who ate my Jello Pudding Pops??!?!
The night before last I went to a Japanese restaurant called Steele. They had fabulous sushi but the waitress spilled an entire glass of Kirin down my back. Not only was I soggy but one of the people I was eating with kept stealing my sushi! It was just the oddest thing in the world to me. Carl ordered his own entree yet, without asking, he grabbed part of my meal! I said, “Yo Buddy, I don’t take a bite from your hamburger, hands off my sashimi!” Strangely, he didn’t seem to comprehend that what he was doing was rude and inappropriate. Some people are frustrating at times.
At any rate, I got back to Philadelphia this afternoon. It was a good trip but I am so very glad to be home.
