1. I think the guy was stuck in the 50's, but then again it seems like
other people might be stuck there too. And I don't know if other black
leaders are critical of Obama because Al Sharpton talks up Obama as
much as possible on MSNBC. Or maybe he talks down repubs. hard to
tell the diff.

2. i think if you lived in ny, it might be nice to have a roommate. i mean, who
else would you explore the city with? would s&c pay for your move?

3. what skills are you talking about?

4. i don't know? i thought he was just backtracking as fast and as discreetly as
possible from really mundane promises. what does "to mailbox" mean? to send?

5. we can certainly try IMO.

1. I don't understand your 7-11 comment. are you defending 7-11 or the
small ethnic grocers? which opinion is correct on the merits - to ban sugary
drinks to fight obesity?

2. haven't read it yet but i certainly will. i do love reading about your life
and personality.

3. perhaps it's more a discussion of how a privileged mind works. this guy's
mind is probably warped. i wonder if he knows people who this has
happened to (or if he just reads all those articles by johnathan perkins and the
 like).

4. wouldn't it be hilarious if we went on the price is right and guessed exactly
correct price answers from the 90's? Yes, turtle wax is $2.69.

5. i've tried the great wall challenge -it's called my childhood. =P but you should
come sometime. i think the closest ethnic grocery store is grand mart in falls church
(which is apparently sketch) or one in alexandria. but there's great wall - it's just
traffic-city all the time and is particularly crazy on weekends. but if you want to go,
then let's go.

i didn't know you liked the baby bok choy with dumplings. that was news.

i really enjoyed his dissection of the different layouts of grocery stores. it's true
that a lot of american supermarkets marginalize the produce section but no
ethnic grocery store ever does. you always enter in on a huge produce section
and you don't spent too much time in the aisles - mostly because they're super
cramped.
