Nancy and I went into The City to meet with Jonathan on Sunday. First time we've been in town since the start of the Covid pandemic. I was delighted to get there and see our old buddy.

We met on The Frying Pan (usual meeting place for A2Kers who come into NYC) The Hudson River was spectacular...and the day was from Heaven.

We had a bit to eat and a few drinks (well, maybe a few more than a few) and it was a joy.

Here are two pictures you might enjoy of the much older versions of the two of us from what has been posted in the past:

@Frank Apisa,
That's great, Frank, glad you had a good time. I missed Joe Nation and never got to know him, but I respect the esteem in which he seems to be held among longtime members.

Thanks, Hightor. Jonathan is a great guy...and funny as funny can be. You'd love him. If you ever get into the Big Apple area...lemme know. We meet up at the drop of a hat.

I second that sentiment on the bloke.

So spill, Frank. How is he? Happy? Still working? What's new with him?

@Mame,
I'm Facebook friends with him and he (from that limited POV) is in moderately good health and spirit. Still actively political and with a good sense of humor.

He is happy and well. Still working at the Home Depot. The main thing new with him is the long hair. Take a look at the pictures above...and you will see that he has rather long, hippy looking hair.

He is still the talkative guy...who berates me for being too argumentative on A2K. He did say to say, "Hello" back to you and Walter.

@Frank Apisa,
I couldn't open those pictures but I know what he looks like so can imagine the longer hair. Glad you enjoyed your visit.

More bad news for Frank.

Almost all body growth (other than nails and hair) stops after age 19...EXCEPT for your ears and nose.

Jesus H. Christ. Am I gonna be able to carry the weight?

Oh, so that is what that group is singing there. Never realize it. Lyrics are not something I "get" easily.

Thanks.
