Frances: Are you sure that the name "Sidney" isn't spelled Sydney (the usual
female version) as was the assumed name of our departed friend Sydney (real
name Karen) Scott? If that other correspondent ain't supposed to spell your
name "Francis" (as in Ole Blue Eyes..or am I thinking of my houn'dog Ole
Blue???), it seems only meet-if not even proper-that we should spell the
Brammer woman's name per the distaff version. For that matter, are you sure
that she was married to Paul Simon? Seems like one would of heered about
that. And are you sure that she wasn't married to the dead senator instead?
Or Garfarkel?
P.S.: I like Nadine and I knew her b4 her restaurant experience, but truth
in reportage maketh me to have to aver that the booths in her place were
full of depressions and lumpy zones, uncomfortable to the extent that I only
went to her place once.
P.S.S.: More importantly, any issue of Congressman Bob has my vote.
Regardless, The Papal
Corrector
