Well, we're a community of kvetchers, with varying expertise on any given day and question. We try. Don't ask already.
Should I ever get to NY again, Greenie would be my first call, should she agree. I didn't know her, as it were, when I was there in 2003. No, not to talk about gardens, site design, or if so, only for a bit... but all the rest.
Robbie would be central, and not just for her editing. We will need another place to get some food in the theater district... (or).
JoeNation, I could just berserk myself for not connecting back then.
Experts, yes, some of us are, and will try to explicate on those matters from time to time - but I think we try to build a community of people (mostly) interested in figuring out what is happening, here, there, and everywhere, and try to do that with the bits we know, or think we know.

It is fortunate for you that you used the sunglasses emoticon, thus thwarting my efforts at determining your character.
Now that I'm here, I don't claim to be an expert (Big CJ s line is similar to mine, but I am also master of none), but I can probably fix your car unless you drive something really silly.
I know I could really use Roberta to edit my copy, as well...
Ok, Rockhead, here's a simple question, just to determine if you are indeed knowledgeable in the art of car repair:
One of the tires on your car is flat on the bottom, not resembling the other three, which appear to be round. The tire in question, when you kick it, doesn't appear to have any air inside. What should be done? And how?
Call AAA, that's what ya pay for...
I'm also a lousy amateur comedian...

Okay, you go in the line up with Try on confusion

I would love to see you Osso. I would even be willing to do a stroll around one of the botanical or estate gardens - haven't been to Wave Hill or The Cloisters in years. ehBeth invited me to the 2003 NYC get together but last minute family traumas prevented me from attending.
I have to admit that I've seen Green Witch in person one time, but was too shy to introduce myself. I spent the better part of an afternoon in a giant cottonwood tree, watching Green Witch scream orders at her workers, the majority who appeared to be paralyzed in fear and who cowered, fearful of her lash, whenever she strode near.
Other than that, she seemed like a pleasant enough lady.
Rockhead

and gus I will call on you when, well no I won't since, I don't have your # and before you say another word.....I don't want your phone #

You were obviously at my neighbor's house - her name is Martha Stewart.
My workers love me like the benevolent goddess I am.

I long suspected you had that kind of money.

Didn't I tell you my last name is Rothchild? Now get out of that tree before I let the dogs out on you.
Greenwitch looks up from her work and mutters through clenched teeth, "Get out of my tree, Gustav or I will remove your testicles with my garden shears."
I haven't met ehBeth... (weeps)..
I was there in April... April (wait for the poem..) Actually, there's a long lost tome by me on the original writing shebang. Will link to it if I remember...
Did get to the Cloisters on the last morning, with Diane, just before she caught her train..
Dark in there, for me, natch. (What tapestries??) And I regretted not checking out 3240 Henry Hudson Parkway, where I'd lived as a kid for a year.
Did a painting of a Wave Hills photo, once, if I remember right.. not that the pntg looks anything like the photo that got me started. Have never been there..

Nonsense, always use the right the tool for the job. This is much more effective:
Here's Osso in NY - give up to start with, it's corny...

I forgot to mention I'm an expert on garden tools.

I can see that

Your link. I started reading and I have it bookmarked so I can take my time reading. You have been to Gig Harbor, that is where I grew up. My entire life was spent there, until I married. I didn't know if you knew but, a 2nd Narrows Bridge has been built. It is even open now. Wow, what a small world.
Thanks to all of you who responded. I hope you know I learned from you how to post pics and post links. Prior to joining A2K, I didn't know how to do any of that.
I am not the one. I'm just a jeleous guy.
