Today is the 24th birthday of two of my closest friends: Darren "Yanen Seven" Weissman and W. Kenneth Griggs. Ken works as a programmer for Merck in the outer pasturelands of New Jersey and Darren is a medical student somewhere in the industrial heartland of New Jersey. Please join me in wishing both of them a joyous birthday. Perhaps you are wondering why Darren's nickname is 'Yanen Seven'. Back in the good old days, when we were just kids, he joined a frequent-movie-goers club at one of our fine New Jersey theater chains...I believe it was the AMC in Rockaway. The name that he used when he signed up was 'Darren C. Weissman' because, well, that's his name. But when he received his first piece of mail from the club, it was addressed to 'Yanen 7. Weissman'. The 'Yanen' part is somewhat understandable, because Darren did have poor handwriting skills. But who are these people who misinterpreted the middle initial 'C' as a '7'? Did they think that is a viable middle initial? Speaking of initials, the 'W' in 'W. Kenneth Griggs' does not stand for 'Weather Boy', though there may be some evidence to the contrary. (It stands for William, hence his nickname in high school French class, Guillaume. Together, we were Robert Guillaume. Yeah, Benson.) 0 Comments:
