He was eating a bagel with cream cheese all over his face trying to make his brother laugh by saying "My name is Ichabod!" They got that from some movie I can't remember which. <BR/><BR/>When I said "Hurry up it's time to go to school!"<BR/><BR/>He Andromeda Jazmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355192738014962965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320080607016581524.post-42112939825102126622007-12-12T14:10:00.000-05:002007-12-12T14:10:00.000-05:00Don,It sounds as though your panhandler has a wond...Don,<BR/>It sounds as though your panhandler has a wonderful outlook, even though he may be down on his luck.

Every time I see the two, the dog is wearing a different pair of glasses, or wig or hat. And he even wears coats and dress shirts with ties. I think the dreadlock wig was the funniest.

At a table across the room (which was fairly empty), a 30ish couple had their 1-year-old baby in a high chair. I glanced up at one point and the dad was doing a little "raise the roof" dance in his chair to entertain the baby. It was too cute.laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.com
