CF,
Happy Hunting!

If you are successful, maybe you can give some of the backstrap as well as some steaks to Cos Cobber. He is a good sport on these pages.

Cos Cobber, the backstrap is the tenderloin of venison, considered by many to be the best cut of meat on the deer.

CF, you should have sent the Audi manager a copy of the Volvo sales invoice to them and an explanation of why you didn’t buy an Audi in Greenwich. Money talks.

Chris: That was under hubby Malcolm’s watch. You needed Gucci loafers back then to get attention.

Years ago, Current, I had settled a big case and pocketed a nice big fee so I thought it would nice to buy Pal Nancy an Audi staion wagon. Went down there dressed in my usual manner which is to say, ah, “casual” and the clerk treated me like dirt. So I left, went to Westport and bought a Volvo wagon instead. I’ve never been back to Audi in the twenty years since.

My pocketbook doesn’t match my shoes and my car doesn’t have a V-12 engine so even when I do shop the Avenue, clerks ignore me like the plague, assuming I carry a Discover card and not an AMEX. I rarely get help, looking like I can’t afford anything. I hear this complaint alot from fellow seniors, but the sadness for the store owners who ignore us is that many of us could buy and sell these hedgie twerps in a nanosecond – we just choose not to show we can. Good luck to Apple but if I were in office in Greenwich, I’d vote to bring back Woolworth’s, Neilson’s ice cream, and Jean’s bike shop….that’s when Greenwich was real!

The boredom of the North Country obviously does strange things to the mind.

I used to have a house next to the old Mashomack preserve on Shelter Island, epicenter of deer and deer ticks. My pals would come down from upstate NY with fresh tampons, which would attract the beasts so they could shoot them. If you see tampons hanging from the tree limbs, now you know why.

Lauren nee Lipshitz is opening in Kathy Lewis’, widow of Judge Bill’s, real estate next to the funeral parlor. I think that building was first owned by Bill’s aunt. Wish I had an aunt like that.

I’m heading up to Bovina, New York, CC. I did try hunting in Ridgefield once but it just didn’t have that wilderness feel to it: I could hear the cheers from the crowd at the local high school football game, for instance.
But Port Chester’s pretty wild – that might work.
