"Oh, this was a mistake," he soon said.
He took out his IKEA dish cloth and wiped the back of his neck.
"I don´t know if I´m going to make it," he said.
The Kid Brother and I slowed the pace for the very uncomfortable San Geraldo.
He DID make it to the restaurant, but not before sticking the dish cloth under his baseball cap.

When I pointed out "the look" to the Kid Brother, he said, ¨What the...?!?," shook his head and moved a few feet away. I joined him.
After a very pleasant — and very cool — lunch, we decided to take the subway home. San Geraldo rode the two stops to The Duchess´ apartment and The Kid Brother and I rode another 15 minutes to his neighborhood. It was hot (remember?), so the Kid Brother suggested a stop at Carvel´s for ice cream.

2 sundaes ~ The Kid has it all figured out!
ReplyDeleteOh I know it's 2 for the both of you, but at first it translated in my head as 2 for him!
YAY The Kid!
Another nice day, well, except for SG's headgear. Oy!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Way to go, SG!! I bet nobody batted an eye at his Ikea dishcloth!!
ReplyDeleteNow, I could use one of sundaes right about now.....
oooooooooooooooh, that sundae looks dee-lish!
ReplyDeleteI'm chuckling at this, very welcome after a long day at work!
ReplyDeleteI feel SG's discomfort! It has been absurdly hot here for the past several days. I don't think I have been beyond the reach of the ceiling fan for more than a few minutes at a time. It does feel a little cooler tonight, though.
ReplyDeleteA great way to cool down. Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteAh, the F train! I had a friend who lived near the Ditmas Av station. I've had many rides on the F from Manhattan. The trains never looked as good as they do now, though.
ReplyDeleteI trust that as you walked to lunch on Coney Island you kept yourself at a respectable distance from San G, with you giving off an expression of "He's NOT with me!" That's what I would have done.
ReplyDeleteCarvel's! I haven't thought of that for years. Lucky pair!
ReplyDeleteWe used to go to Carvel's, too :) On Route 22, in Plainfield, New Jersey :) Yummmmm.
ReplyDeleteWell, the blue plaid washcloth didn't clash with the blue cap... SG might just start a new trend ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt has been a long hot summer, the ice cream looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI like the washcloth look, myself.
ReplyDeleteJust reading your post and I was sweat… hum, perspiring and exhausted – the heat and the walk, you know. I’ll go into the kitchen now and see if we have any ice cream in the freezer … On the way there I may pick-up my dish-cloth – from Costco though, not IKEA.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you?
