I suppose I’m a couple of days behind, but I just read this. It makes me pretty sad. So many times he’d distract me from running my errands around Union Square with his charming but sometimes-annoying repertoire. There are a lot of bizarre people around the city that I’ve been curious about, like the man who dresses in all white and asks for change around 1st avenue, and the tranny lady who wears pink leg warmers and used to smile at me when I’d walk around my old neighborhood in Chelsea, but this gentleman was by far the most charismatic. Now that he won’t be there, I wonder if there will be someone to replace him. Or whatever will happen to all the veggie peelers?Although I’ve resisted the temptation to get me one of those many times, this time, I really need one. Seriously. We have misplaced our peeler and neither of us have any idea where it is. Also, I suddenly have an urge to chop some flower shaped carrots slices.
i send my condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Ades.
