ira Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Here's my big scandalous secret. Over the last coupla months I've been talkin' to our WendyWorld on the phone alot...and she's become a very good and very important friend to me.She has NO agendas...She is a warm caring funny person who really values friendship.Well I'm really psyched.I needed to get away due to some tough personal stuff...and I worked my typing fingers to the bone to find a decent last minute deal to California.Well tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. ...I'll rise...drive to Philly International..Fly out...Spend a coupla days in L.A. with my best buddy Mel (Curlew-Former King Of Queens)...then on Friday we'll drive to Orange County to spend the day with Wendy and her family.I gotta tell you...the Northeastern United States has never recovered from the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn for Los Angeles...and from Wendy leaving Haddonfield New Jersey for the West Coast!I got a feeling that just like McCartney...Wendy's even better in person than over the airwaves.One cannot minimize the value of a good friend!

missy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ira have a wonderful time. If there ever was a great place to relax, unwind, and forget the real world for a few days it's California. Seeing Wendy will definitly be the frosting on the cake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim From Wisconsin Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Is California a great state or what! The people are great , but they can have their fun traffic, earthquakes, mudslides, and wild fires! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
