Buying the New Yorker 1986 - page 84

Basically, you are going to be renting a house. This thing was set up by a gentleman named Ken Irwin, who seems to be a bit of a character. (the venue seems to now be called "Ken Irwin's La Mancha Villas" and enjoys the title of "The Man of La Mancha.") I believe that Ken is the fellow in the white suit standing next to the Complimentary Chrysler Convertible - The picture of him on the website shows him wearing the same hat and his head is cocked at the same jaunty angle. The complimentary car is no longer part of the package, but you now get a 52 inch plasma television. I wonder what that says about the way times have changed.

Here I was getting all bothered about my wide feet and their needs when I see the opposite group. A store for those with freakishly narrow feet! You are my nemesis! No matter. Executive Shoes was snapped up by a clothing company in 1991. Score one for us paddle-duck gunboat footed folks.

We've seen J. H. Breakell & Co before. It looks like they may have given up on selling cufflinks.

Maria Battaglia is still running La Cucina Italiana ("The Italian Kitchen"). What is La Cucina Italiana? I'm not sure. It looks like Maria Battaglia just keeps on doing whatever cooking- related activities she wants, and administers it from this shingle she's put up. She still does the travel stuff, but the website doesn't have any details. You have to fill out a webform and then she'll send you an itinerary.

I've done Books on Tape before as well. This time, however the advertised selection is still available. Here's the link so you can buy it yourself. And check this out: They have an option so I can link to an excerpt:



I think it is quite evocative as it sounds like the recording was made underwater.

Was The Casa Marina the best place to view Halley's Comet? As I recall, there weren't many places that were particularly good for seeing it. I was able to find this site that lets you track the comet path. It doesn't let you get in close enough to see Key West though. The Casa Marina meanwhile has dropped the Halley's Comet angle from their advertising. Book now, 2061 is just around the corner!
