Yesterday on our train ride into town??- my friend Jesse & I
were talking about LUNCH! Jesse & I used to work together
at the Philadelphia Stock Exchange & we always
had our FAVORITE LUNCH PLACES.
Now that Jesse works in the ‘burbs – when he
comes in town LUNCH is ALWAYS a discussion topic.
??
ONE of the lunches we talked about was WONTONS.
We love them from this ONE PLACE (Jo Jo).

Jesse couldn’t get out for lunch yesterday –
so TODAY, since we were talking about them,
I just HAD to get them…….

(AND financial advisor).
We talked the whole way into town -disturbing my whole morning routine –
but that was OK – I don’t get to see Jesse much.
(do YOU need financial advice? let me know, I have the guy)
Jesse was early for his conference so he went for a shoeshine

The shoeshine guy is in Suburban Station across from Dunkin Donut’s
near the 17th & JFK exit. Tell Andre that HELEN sent you.

our guy ANDRE, shoe shiner & also MUSICIAN,
did a great job of getting Jesse’s shoes looking top notch!
My danskos are looking forward to visiting Andre.

Was meeting a friend tonight for an interesting Adventure.
We were going to see “Peter Buffet: Concert & Conversation”
at a cool concert Venue WXPN World Cafe Live.
www.worldcafelive.com
 |
World Cafe Live is located in a part of town called University City.
It’s where Drexel University & University of Pennsylvania are located.
It’s about 10 blocks from my office in Center City Philadelphia.

Peter Buffett here we come….
|
Peter is the son of investor & multi-billionaire Warren Buffett,
{NOT the son of JIMMY BUFFETT as my annoying co-worker insisted.}
 |
|
The World Cafe Live venue was cool
– we could have dinner & drinks during the show
|
 |
|
Sharon had a Dogfish IPA
& I, of course, had a pomegranate margarita. CHEERS!

liked the Lobster Mac ‘n Cheese.
Here is my review:

|
The program started with Kids from LiveConnections,
An innovative music education program for children.
|
I thought the guy on the far left was ANDRE our shoeshine guy.
THIS guys name was ANDRE & he looked like shoe shine guy…..
It was kind of dark & couldn’t get a good look.
I talked to Andre today & it was NOT him.

The son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy:
Forge your own path in life.
The written companion to the live “Concert & Conversation” program
is Peter’s book, Life Is What You Make It

When you reach the end of your life,
do you want to be one of the people
who are glad they did,

went over to visit “broken pelvis Joyce” & found
she already had visitors!! Friends from the
Lancaster Bike Club (about 2 hour drive)
came down to visit Joyce. How nice!
(sorry about the blurry photo – not sure what happened?
and it wasn’t Michael taking the photo – can’t blame him!)

When my daughter was about seven years old,
??she asked me one day what I did at work.
I told her I worked at the college-
that my job was to teach people how to draw.

She stared back at me, incredulous, and said,
“You mean they forget?”
