Inanimate to Animate

I used to blog about inanimate objects like toothbrushes and ketchup packets..... I think it's time I change it up. I will now write a short series on letters to strangers I encounter.

To the man whom I ran next to twice this week on the tredmil,
I gave you sympathy when you smelled bad after running for 45 minutes.
I do NOT give you sympathy for smelling bad before you even started running. I'm glad I was just about finished.

Allen the engraver

I made a new friend today, his name was Allen.  Allen is an engraver.... I visited Allen in his workshop in Harold Square.  Allen was a nice gentleman who told me pieces of his life story.

He informed me he engraved Jimmy Fallon's doorknocker
He shared with me this great full set of silverware from 1947 this "gothic kid with black painted fingernails" left at his workshop 7 years ago. He then tried to sell it to me.
He also told me about this urn someone left in his workshop that he then made into an ashtray. Clever I guess?

He hopes to sell Brooklyn bridge designed cufflinks at wholesale soon.  Good luck Allen!

A haiku for my valentine:

Crockpots Rule

They make your mouth drool

My, I'm full!

Brits and the bar

To the British man who walked into the bar at 3:45am and sat down next to me.

1. When you ordered " I'll have....a whisky............................. with ice" I was confused.
2. When we talked about Titanic, that was great.
3. When you made fun of my nickname, that's when shit got real.

The High, bold and glittery

One time I wore these, and I just want to wear them all day every day.
