Okay, we lost the nicotine battle the other morning. And find our Levis, we did.
Interestingly enough, we believe it was Mark Twain who said that "...the only people who should use the 'royal *we*' in their prose, should BE royalty and people with tapeworms."
Sigh.
Today's fantasy has to do with renting out my apartment for the US Open here. The seriously rich and famous are paying up to $250,00 for serious mansions and related amenities, such as use of the owner's Rolls Royces, and maid and butler. Oh yes, catering er the visitor's whims.
Over 50,000 people are due here for the US Open and, of course, accommodations have been sold out for a couple of years. But today's paper lists numberous homes/duplexes for $3000 to $10,00. per week. Again, driver and maid available/negotiable.
Since I live less than two miles from the US Open gates, and only a 5 minuttes walk to a shuttle lot at a universitiy, I began thinking of what I would have to do to prepare my place, like, super fast.
