I've mentioned my wife and I are members of an Epicurean group in South Jersey. This past Monday 04/12/10 we had our monthly dinner at Morton's at Cesar's Casino in Atlantic City.
I always go as Louise and even though the group has a flux to it many of the people know me (as Louise). Monday we were asked to share a table with 4 other women so 2 seats were still open when another couple came over, surprisingly it was a person who owns a real-state business who I race bicycle with and his wife. Another big surprise was his wife's mother is the person who brought my wife down from Vermont to meet her brother, who happened to be gay, so Millie met me instead, sorta like out of the frying pan and into the fire.
After the dinner someone mentioned Tom Lamaine was there. Tom happens to be a meteorologist for KYW-TV in Philadelphia and got his start in Atlantic City as a radio DJ hosting the Bunny Hop at the AC YMCA where I used to go. I was very popular in High School and all the kids and Tom used to chant for me over the radio to come up there. He also was the announcer at the Pleasantville drag strip where I used to drag race. I approached him and asked him if he remember the chant and my drag racing and then said "will I'm Lou", he was pretty much taken back, but either he had to much to drink or was in shock to react with more than a wide eyed expression.
The picture depicts the occasion.
