Luck of the English

Off to New York today with a suitcase the approximate size of a Volkswagen. Crammed with everything I could think of and every patent medicine on the shelf at Duane Reade.

Tried on every pair of jeans in my closet looking for the perfect one to live in for weeks at a time. When I reached in the pocket there was a 1 pound coin left over from London. This is either a good luck charm or an indication that I never washed these two years ago. Either way I'm bringing the coin with me.

Just my luck. I will be missing the introduction of the new Crest chocolate flavored toothpaste. Also New vanilla and lime flavored Crest toothpaste. I'm not kidding.  Always interesting to read the extended forecast and live music listings and realize none of it applies to me.

Giving much consideration to tonight's last dinner before departure.  Don't know what it will be, but I don't expect it to be health food.
