What The Bleep!
What the he double hockey sticks. Here we go again with these showoff fans said Barry. At least they weren't at the Carnegie Hall benefit on Sunday. In fact there weren't very many fan club members who were there. David Taylor said he saw Carly Simon, Susan Barrett and Vicki Smith co-directors of the One Voice BMLFC of NYC/Nassau. David knew all of the fan club directors. Marc said he really didn't see any fans at all. Both David and Marc went out into the main part where the seats were. They each went out at different times before the benefit started. There were still a lot of fan club members bitching about the Delacorte Theatre show on Saturday. They were bitching because they didn't get tickets for the show. Or why didn't Barry do an extra night or two. Barry knew these were not his regular fans. Because they knew better than to bitch when they didn't get exactly what they wanted. Then there was this one fan from outside the US who was desperate to give him this drawing of himself. She swore the photo she used for reference was his very favorite. How did she know what photo of himself was his very favorite one. In fact the one Barry did like of himself was taken at the Events Center at Foxwood Casino at the end of May. It was taken when Barry was there for three nights. It was the one that Carly took of him. Where Barry had his head tilted and his eyes closed. So it looked like Barry was completely lost in the music in that photo. The drawing never got to Barry. So the fan was very upset about the fact Barry never got her drawing or painting. Now that Barry was home he would be able to sleep in his own bed. Barry went out to buy a new mattress set. The set Barry had was fifteen years old. After Christmas Barry went to a Sleep Number store to try their mattress. Barry found their mattresses uncomfortable no matter what number he set it at. So he didn't buy one of their mattress sets. Barry made a call to Carly at the Grand Hyatt while she was there for the convention. Hello sunshine said Barry. Did you enjoy Sunday nights benefit show at Carnegie Hall? asked Barry. Yes I did said Carly. Susan, Vicki and myself had a super time Sunday night said Carly. Prior to the benefit we went to Becco restaurant. It's really good Italian fare and it is located at 365 W. 46th St. Some night you and I will have to go there said Carly. You know I needed a new mattress set said Barry. The mattress set I had was fifteen years old. I thought I'd try the Sleep Number mattress said Barry. Oh really said Carly. Yes and I hated it. I could never get comfortable no matter what number I set it on. So I went shopping at a couple of mattress stores. I tried Tempur Pedic and Serta icomfort. I didn't like those brands either. So I called Bruce and asked him what mattress brand he an Rob slept on. Bruce said he and Rob slept on a Simmons queen size mattress set. Bruce said they had theirs since two thousand thirteen and they loved theirs. Bruce even told me where they bought theirs. So I went the Sears store and checked out the Simmons brands. Theirs is a innerspring mattress with the coils. I tried the Simmons Comforpedic Harmony Chopin series . It's a queen size mattress set said Barry. It felt so good when I stretched out on it so I bought it. I even bout two new Simmons pillows there. Then I went to Macys and got a queen sized sheet set and blanket. When I got home I called Bruce and told him I got my new mattress set. Bruce asked me if it was innersprings or memory foam. I told him it was the Simmons Comforpedic Harmony Chopin series. Are you serious said Bruce? I said yes I'm serious. Bruce just had to laugh. Seem you find Harmony just about anywhere. So what color did you get for the sheets and blanket? asked Carly. The sheets are blue and the blanket is slate said Barry. Next week on Thursday the 25th I have my last fitting at Kleinfeld's bridal. So I should be able to take my gown, headpiece and veil home with me. I'll take the subway into Manhattan and catch a cab to go home. That way my gown and stuff won't get messed up on the subway going home. My mom and sister Jill came with me to Kleinfeld's when I tried on dresses. I remember my mom asking me if I could dance in the dress I liked. I told her I could. Now after we get married I'll put my house on the market. Since the house originally belonged to my parents I'm splitting the price I get for the house with them. You know what we should do is buy a getaway place somewhere. Anywhere would be fine except southern California and Florida said Barry. I don't know why I ever moved to southern California. My mom Edna had a house in Boca Raton Florida. I sold that after she passed away. I've lived most of my entire life in the Bronx said Carly. The only time I didn't live there was during my eight years of college. I got my bachelors degree in science from Duke University Durham North Carolina. Then I got my veterinarian degree from North Carolina State University in Raleigh North Carolina. After I got my veterinarian degree I got my first job at the Pittsburgh Zoo said Carly. For a while I lived in Pittsburgh. But when the opportunity came up to work at the Bronx Zoo I took it said Carly. That's where I've been ever since.
