He is risen!!! Here's how I know...
Apparently Jespear can not be trusted with one's cell phone number cuz MJ Toal, with whom I am currently experiencing a temporary religious-based break up, found it written on a men's room wall in a dive bar in Joisey. Phone rings, a creepy man's voice asks me if I'm Frank and ready for a "good time".
I demand to know who he is and how he got my name and number, he identifies himself as "Toal, MJ Toal". For a moment, I freeze. "Turtle boy?", I ask. Yes, is the answer. "Are you calling to make up with me?" No, he says, to break up with you, at least until Passover is, well, over.
Mike tells me he is with Howard, Shaun, John (the mole), forgive me if I forgot someone, and then he says...DPNewell wants to have a word with me!
I laugh it off, but he persists. This idiocy continues for a while and then Mike hands the phone to...DPNewell!! Hello Frank he says. "You're alive"!! I shrieked. Apparently this was not big news to Dave as he casually agreed to his current existence.
We chatted a while, he sounded very much alive, happy, healthy, everything anyone here who knows him at all would want for him. It was good.
DPN, nice to finally speak with you.
Mike, thank you for calling, just the fact that this could happen because of a discount cigar forum is astonishing.
Thanks for the Passover wishes too.
And John...thanks for posting my number on the stall. Business has never been better... say WHAT?
Frank
