Waldy.... >>Hi Paul, as always, thankyou for the serious commentary and of course for the humor your able to muster as Novl. remains the best unknown company with no debt and almost a billion dollars cash.....if only Novl. didnt have SO many shares outstanding, it might be worth something? hahahah! O.T. As you walk out the door of the Chicago Institute of Art directly west across Michigan Ave. there is a street that desperately needs a Deli......!@$^%$#@!&&**^%%$#, one could make a million dollars a year in a 1000 sq. ft. location........Hell, Chicago needs a GOOD Deli in the loop,...>> For several years after college I shared time and energy as I helped out my good friends, Manny Tennenbaum and Evelyn Reiger, two elderly folks who acted like they where still in their 40's. Manny had lost his leg to a blood clot and they needed help getting around. He was former real estate developer-turned- jockey agent at Arlington who knew everyone who was everyone behind every track from here to Hollywood Park. He introduced me and other friends to the track while we were going to school - the horses, hot walkers, cold early morning visits in the middle of winter behind Sportsmans Park, etc. While it wasn't every week, the combined cultural experience of sharing my time with them was like being baptized into deeply personal, yet joyously liberating river water that occasionally turned into a wild currents of conflicting emotions, ranging from joy to pain and everything in between. I'll be forever thankful for the inspirational gifts which these two souls shared with me. In spirit and character they were like oil and water and I dutifully shook them both up with my youthful energy as I turn our spirited occassions together into the equivalent of Italian dressing - a wonderful mix of energy, song, love and fatalism. Manny, the incredible intellect was enslaved by his critically negative, yet wonderfully humorous energy; Evelyn was this continous fission reaction of white hot positive energy which occasionally crashed and burned. They both inspired me to learn how to sing. First the old standards with a nice dollup of Yiddish music. Then I drifted into Finnish music while dating a Finn. I ended up stumbling into Barbershop harmony and ended up singing in quartets and choruses while competing and performing in public for roughly ten years. Some of my most joyous occasions have been singing Yiddish music to eldery jewish folks in a nursing home now and then. A goy singing yiddish - amazing!! Our visits to Kaufman's bakery on Dempster in Skokie and the grocery store will forever hold a special place in my memory. After arriving back to their apartment, we ate till we dropped and frequently sang while taping our performances. Evelyn used to play with the Chicago symphony orchestra and the Chicago Music College years ago. And at 80+ years old she played a mean piano. Manny could sing April Showers so well he made the tears stream east and west. Evelyn came to our wedding with her son, Mitch, a very well know attorney based her in Chicago. Then my kids came along. I have a very deep love and reference for personal histories and I've learned from many elderly people whom I have helped and shared time with over the years. They scattered Manny's ashes on the track at Arlington. After that I helped get Evelyn some qualified nurses who I had worked with on another elderly friend to help assist her until she was forced to go to a nursing home 3-4 years later. Her spirit disappeared almost overnight when she went there, but there was nothing we could do. The song of their memory with me lives in my heart and soul which I sing and express everyday to my family through song. Waldy, it sounds like you live in Chicago. Martin lives here, too. And Paul's seems to know his way around Devon Avenue. The Indians have taken over Devon, but there still a few Delis left. Sharing in this Novell community seems to mirror the Italian dressing experience which characterized my time with Manny and Evelyn. There's been a wonderful mix of shared intelligence, backgrounds and energies which have helped build community and that community is beginning to feel empowered enough to find it's own legs and spirit and energy. Similar to all of us, the jewish heritage is a feast of INDIVIDUAL emotions, both good and bad. But there's this panache, this possessive edge, which you've gotta love and appreciate. That's why I love New York. There's this Tiger spirit in NY which, deep down, wants to be loved, is cuddly and CAN sing. Deep down, there are similaries to Novell. Perhaps this is part of the reason why I'm here. Novell needs to learn how to SING. Lox and bagels anyone?? Peace. GO!!
