He left Brooklyn many years ago but Brooklyn never left him. His childhood was a rich gumbo of passions: the Dodgers, radio, comic books, 78 rpm records, stickball, punchball, Barnaby & Mr. O’Malley, the Dodgers. From these ingredients his life's main interests were formed: jazz, classical music, writing, and (still) baseball. Brooklyn also gave him Brooklyn Girl, who has been his best friend for nearly half a century. One lucky kid.

To Brooklyn Girl on her birthday
Connie Boswell gets the essential arithmetic right -- me minus you means just nothin' at all, but me plus you equals love. Happy birthday!
What, no comments? Happy (belated) birthday to Senora Kid, or Missus Boris. Long may you prosper and paint and smile!
