Little Italy has some very garlicky dishes, but I don't recall ever seeing
anything with anchovy/bread pesto sauce.  They do have a very good fried
garlic and olive oil pasta dish, which comes with or without anchovies, and
garlic bread with huge amounts of garlic (almost enough, in fact).  They
also have a good marinara sauce, made without onions as it should be, which
is good with pasta and steamed broccoli.  For dessert, hot zabaglione.  You 
smell for days afterwards, of course.

One of the former owners of Little Italy started a new restaurant called
Jackson Fillmore - you can figure out the location if you think about it.
The food there is more refined than at Little Italy, and more expensive,
but also good.

	What does one wear to a rapture?  Something loose-fitting I 
expect...  Yes, I think so - and Birkenstocks.

Religious question: what happens to all the pregnant womyn at the 
time of the Second Coming?  Are the fetuses aborted?  Or do the
spirits just have that much less of a social circle?  "Hi!  I would
have been your niece, but they closed Earth before I could meet you!"
I rank these sort of questions as important as navel self-contemplation.

 And, well, pretty much everything else, come to think of it.. The thing that I
like about the Journal entries is that they're well-written as SF alone, but
also equally well-written as erotica; it's rare enough to find either of those,
let alone both.. Great stuff.

Okay, I've called the National Office of MOW '93 (twice) trying to

anywhere near DuPont Circle, if last time was any indication).  So
far, no response.  Does anyone on the net know what the schedule of events

I assume we're doing another mass civil disobedience event?

She may have been a big fan of Soupy Sales, who had a kids' show in

"Pookie". Perhaps its Yiddish? Any Judaica experts out there?

I heard that on the radio this morning.  I don't know what characters he

     I have often wondered about the ability of astrologers to explain why
fraternal twins are not more similar to each other!

     My fraternal twin brother was born 7 minutes after me, but a recent reply
I got from an astrologer who posted on Alt.Personals recently indicated that a
4 minute differences in birth times could make for a significant difference
between people.  At least for me, we were both born in the same roon, otherwise
she pointed out how LOCATION at birth also affects the relationship to the
position of the stars!

     I wonder how astrologers can stretch things to explain Identical twins!

I must not have written my post very clearly if you got that
impression from it.

The main thing Clay ever communicated to me was that he held me in
utter contempt.

The main thing that I learned from Clay is that some people are bitter
assholes, and that I better not let these people affect my happiness.
Not a pleasant lesson, but I suppose I needed to learn it some time.

On the other hand, I am talking about him, aren't I?

Granting all those points (I get my radioactive K in
bananas, though).  Wrt to air pollution, I make no excuse
for tobacco smoking, apart from pointing out that one run of
one city bus puts more pollution in the air than all the
cigarettes smoked in the town in a week (referring to
sidestream smoke, not what the smoker breathes).

Hi John,

I just wanted to say how wonderful it is that you can express yourself
so forthrightly and clearly and all that. I think, and you can correct
me here if I'm wrong, that it's really cool that you don't let these
feeling stay bottled up inside you and get all icky. I really believe,
if you'll forgive my saying so, that it's really important to be in
like touch, you know what I mean, with your feelings and everything.
It's really, really neat and I just wanted to say that I love you for
that, but not, you know, in any nasty kind of way, if you know what I
mean.

Your friend in the Great Pacific Northwest,

Frankie

P.S.  So, if you don't mind my asking, exactly what kind of appliances
do you have?
