Barb wrote a poem for me!

Banana Shoes

Bananas are difficult to transport.
They bruise and turn to mush. A shame.
Potassium is so good for sport.

In the morning, I need moral support.
I rely on bananas to tighten up my game.
But bananas are difficult to transport.

In the train my legs I must contort.
Without bananas, I’m weak. I wane.
Potassium is so good for sport.

Put the banana in your gym shoe, you exhort.
That’s where it won’t get maimed.
Bananas are difficult to transport.

Putting fruit in sneakers is gross, I snort.
It’s not appetizing. But you proclaim:
Potassium is so good for sport.

Plus the banana peel is like a fort
keeping out the smells at which you take aim.
Bananas are difficult to transport.
Potassium is so good for sport.

Now that we’re officially in contract, I feel more comfortable about sharing! Barb and I are buying a house. It’s a crazy 1951 modern design. I’m afraid we won’t be able to fix it up all fancy like the current owners, but we’ll try. The garden certainly is nice. I took most of these pictures while walking around with the inspector. For anyone wanting to visit from the city, it’s only about $15 round trip to the Cortlandt station, and I promise I won’t make you do any yard work while you visit. Here are the pictures.
