Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Diners for us as well -- one of the great blessings of a Jersey youth. We did have a Friendly's we went to sometimes, but they were always rude to us. We generally referred to them as Surly's.

Because nothing says "I am a tormented creature of the night! Fear me, mortals!" like sitting around Denny's while eating fries.
I first read "fries" as "flies," which is a much different picture.

Mom just got put on antibiotics for a sinus infection. The doc says she's contagious for 48 hours. I'm supposed to go visit her tonight. I've never had a sinus infection. Should I be worried?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The contagious can't be the sinus infection itself, but whatever's causing it.

Oh man, YEAH. Westfield Diner after midnight, coffee and cheeseburgers deluxe and eggs and bacon ... Ah. God, I love a god diner. You have to live in Jersey to really appreciate them. Or find the best ones. IMO, of course.

Taylor ham on a roll. Gravy fries. And consistently good baklavah. Sighhh... My Grandfather traveled all over the country for work, he was always happy when business brought him to Jersey and its diners. We really were spoiled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I have now eaten too many cookies, but I can confirm that they are all delicious and appropriate for the going-away party tomorrow.
