So good! These gorgeous splice of life vignettes seriously made me laugh out loud too much. I love your beautiful old photos, and I enjoyed your theme of the feeling of love paired as a complimentary emotion to hate (you reminded me of L. Cohen’s Songs of Love and Hate in the best way possible.) Yep Wagner is a hell no for me too. Bach: yes! When I was at art school, I used teach Montessori preschool and nanny on the side: with students, the ‘I’m leaving now’ line is often the ultimate ace card to play in times of hardship. I’ve also had the misfortune and delight to watch guys climb cherry pickers; your description is golden and too funny. Thank you for making me laugh and for sharing your wonderful stories with readers. Beautiful, funny, and honest as pie.
I absolutely love KOK. And too bad about the sushi (or fish encased in seaweed lol). Now you have to tell me who’s the writer you hate. I won’t be able to sleep tonight (it’s 11 pm here) until you reveal it to me.
This reply might keep me wide awake (and hysterically laughing) all night. If easier, you may want to write the name on a piece of paper, fold it in four, put it in an envelope, and sent it over to Milano (posta aerea, please).
Thanks for making me laugh! My wife, like James, is a sushi nut. Five days after meeting she put me through the "sushi test." She claims that had I not eaten any sushi (I ate some shrimp and salmon––familiar to me from shrimp cocktails and lox) she would have dumped me. Now I just order avocado rolls.

Ah, another KOK lover. But in regard to your question: NEVER.

David's wife, meet James. I love everything about Avocado rolls except for the fact that they are WRAPPED IN SEAWEED.
It helps to think of it as "nori" but, yes, it is still seaweed.
