weird nostalgia
I've just been going through one of my random piles of old clippings and things--apartment landscape features created when I need to clean for company, but I don't have time to actually clean, so I just put all the mess in one spot and forget about it. Sometimes when I move I put the piles in boxes, and sometimes I take them out again, which must explain this one at the top of a bookshelf.
This pile had assorted memorabilia from several places I've lived--like a 1997 program from Henry VIII, the closing performance of the Public Theater's ten-year Shakespeare Marathon in Central Park. I remember going to this, but I don't remember the play itself at all.
I also found a takeout menu from Pasta Pisa in Medford. In the winter of 1998, I lived right down the street from this place, and so of course I ate there all the time--usually the ravioli, I think. The staff was really friendly, the prices were reasonable, and the food was really good. I miss that place.
I just did a Google search to see if Pasta Pisa is still around. Apparently it is, and it seems to be doing fine. They won an informal taste-off of the five pizza shops on that two-block strip of Boston Avenue. The owners have expanded next door into a creperie. And apparently the food is halal, which is nice if that's your thing.

"junk" like that. In a way, the mundane stuff is more precious
than the "important" stuff. If I lose the deed to my house, we
can acquire another copy. If I lose an old concert program,
it's irreplaceable.
