  1. The CUNY Professional Staff Congress has ratified its new contract, which means $$$ for me. Yay.

  2. Posting on behalf of Nathan: This is Nathan. I have little to add to the above. It's all been said. I ate, and drank, with Barry literally hundreds of times when I lived in NY and at least another 30 times after. We first met at Wallse. He never changed and was truly extraordinary. A couple standouts: a prodigiously gluttonous meal at Cafe Gray when Gray Kunz did a final F-U to his investors (I think) as it was closing by basically putting all of the most expensive and rich mains on the menu into one prix fixe; the time that we introduced Frank Bruni to the Staggerac; the early days of Ssam Bar when it was truly something new. But most of all it was all the people we each met through Barry. He is irreplaceable.

  3. This week is hard work. My (second) oldest friend is meeting me in Barcelona to see Hinds with my godson (his son) who lives there. He just told me his mother passed away, aged 100. I knew her from my childhood. I remain confident that Hinds and Barcelona can cast a warm glow over all this.
