They stopped asking her about me.

Great story!


Especially good with the "spent her summers in the Hamptons" detail!

True story, I was in a bar with some horse players a few days ago and was razzing some guy in his mid-20's when he inquired about a bottle of "chartreuse" that had somehow made it behind the bar in this non-uppity establishment. It was one of those great gambling story and trivia sharing late afternoons, and the totally cool kid let me know that "chartreuse" was a favored drink component of F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Great Gatsby guy). Points to the kid. I was impressed with the off the cuff trivia.

He knew nothing of Nashua and the Woodwards, however.
