She went out on tour with a show, and she had to write the name of the show on all of her travel cases. Which is how I had the experience of hearing her call from the next room, "Hey Zorica, how do you spell "Cats?" To be fair I think she had undiagnosed dyslexia. I resisted the urge to spell "Unitard Freakshow" and helped her, but later I saw at least one box that had CTAS printed on it.

While we're being all confessional, has anyone else here tried to convince yourself you could count an issue as "read" if you made it through Talk of the Town, Shouts & Murmurs, and anything by Sedaris?

"Where'd the pile of New Yorkers go?"

"Oh those? I finished them."

"What, in one afternoon?"

"I'm a fast reader stop looking at me go away."

My completely vapid roommate had a subscription to the NYer to make her look smarter for the boys. Sadly, it worked.
