Out to Lunch

August 8, 2005 by David Barr Kirtley Leave a Comment

Went out to eat three times this afternoon. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it. Today was almost certainly my last trip into Manhattan before I leave for L.A., and I had several people to see one last time. First was lunch — Chinese — with Circehellene at 2:00 p.m. Then another lunch at 4:00 p.m. — Mexican — with a friend from high school whom I haven’t seen in years. Got caught up on some high school gossip. Apparently we went to high school with Andy Milinokas, who now has his own TV show. I can’t say I remember him, but I’ve blocked out much of high school. Then a 6:30 dinner — Sushi — to bid adieu to the 8th of February Group (my local writers group), though by that time I was too full to actually eat anything. Great conversation, great fun all around.

Roger Barr

My grandfather Roger Barr passed away early this morning at the age of 98. He was my mom’s father, and was my last surviving grandparent. He was being cared for by my uncle Steve (his son) and aunt Denice — both medical professionals — and was still sharp and good-humored in his final days. Yesterday […]
