I sau aat this sho sum peepool I haadan't seen out aand about faur a laung tiem, such aaz Nuark fatografer Sondro Goemesh aand hiz laung-tiem (doemestik) portner Lueesa Peensoen. Sondro wunderd if I reememberd him, aand I oenle vaegle did. I sed, "Yau'r frum Paurchagool." Kwiet so. Wuns he toeld me hiz ferst naem, I then kaem up witth "Gomes" (pranounst, in Paurchageez, góe.mesh), aand he kangraachoolaetad me on haaving a good memare. Unfaurchanatle, thaat wuz lorjle raung, aand I koodan't reemember tha naem uv hiz portner, hu I tthingk iz frum Kaloembea — but doen't kwoet me. I lookt onlien tu se if thaat wuz karekt, but did not fiend instant konfermaeshan. She toeld me her ferst naem, beekauz I koodan't reemember it aafter perhaaps aaz laung aas tthre aur eevan maur yeerz uv not seing her out aand about aat Nuark ort eevents. Aand hwi wood thaat be? It puzoolz me thaat I aufan du NOT se maejer Nuark orts staulwarts aat vaareas ort eevents outsied thair oen venyu.


I still kood not reemember Lueesa'z laast naem! She then saplied it: [Pinzón]. I menshand thaat I'm haaving sum memare problamz due tu aej, aand haav tu taek gingko (biloeba, aur just "gingko" — aur "ginkgo", tha stuepid 'preeferd' speling — tu help wit6th memare).

We or vere luke tu haav a yung wooman uv Rabeka'z driev. Unfaurchanatle, I did not heer about thaat Augast eevent until this paast Saaturdae, so did not atend.

Kroud in litool gaalere triez tu lisan tu a breef prezantaeshan in tha nekst ruem. I koodan't heer a tthing.

He sed he duzan't kaare it in jenral, but poold out a litool, wuterpruef Saamsung 'fun' kiend uv kaarma, lorjle yelo aand blaak(?), thaat he duz kaare. I menshand thaat I aulwaez kaare mi litool G.E., aand haav aaz wel a kaamra in mi selfoen, hwich I haav yuezd baesikale oenle hwen I TWIES egzaustad mi regyoolar kaamra'z baatereez aat tha Turtool Baak Zu.

We diskustd thaat tha T.B.Z. haaz hilz, hwairaaz mene zuez wood not impoez hilz apon paetranz, esp. paarant hu haav tu poosh stroelerz.

I reememberd him aaz being Ierish(?), but kood not tthingk uv ene Ierish naem he miet haav (e.g., Shaun, Kevin, Paatrik, Hyu). I nue hou tu serch faur hiz naem onlien, beekauz uv menshanz I haad maed uv him heer, but did not need tu du so beekauz witthin a kupool uv ouarz aafter geting hoem, I reememberd hiz naem. Beter laet thaan never?

I haav not yet atendad ene such moeltan-metal kaasting. Yu'd tthingk thaat Nuark, witth its industreal paast, wood be THE plaes in this kounte tu kaast metal skulpchurz. But it's apaarantle not, aat leest not yet.

In any case, after we checked out the NPS show, Jerry and I ventured to the Ferry Street Pathmark, soon to change to, I thought, a Stop & Shop due to the A&P bankruptcy. The slender, polite, white cashier I asked about when the changeover to Stop & Shop would occur, said that it is actually to become an Acme. Hm. Did I read the website wrong? He thought maybe the Bergen Street Pathmark was to become a Stop & Shop, but when I had, before then, investigated, I saw no reference to that store. We will in time see.
