HUNGRY GERALD

Two erudite and articulate guys, Damian and David, live together on the fifth floor of HG/BSK’s loft condo building in Central Falls, RI. (HG/BSK’s spacious loft is on the fourth floor).  Because of a direction error, HG banged on their door a few nights ago—rudely awakening them and their dog. They were not angry—they thought HG was an old guy suffering from  Alzheimers or another form of dementia. There were HG apologies in following days plus reassurances that HG was not mentally impaired but a bit slow—HG is 95. Bearing a bouquet gift, last night Damian and David visited HG/BSK for cocktail hour wine and a snack of excellent smoked salmon. Lively conversation. Quite enjoyable. HG learned that Damian is an adroit oyster shucker. Hopefully. HG/BSK will share an oyster feast with these guys before cold weather sends them to Florida.
