My daughter has moved to the East Coast and is rapidly acquiring new words and phrases with which Papa needs to keep up. On the phone today, she used yet another new one: "ghetto fried rice". I learned (from her) what it means; do you know?

'Nother question, to see who knows: What's a rollie? (Hint: think Snoop Dogg.)

When the Dogg sez he gots the rollie on his arm, he means that he is wearing a Rolex wristwatch.

Now, about that fried rice ...

in NYC, its black beans and rice.. or red beans and rice.. we have way more hispanics, (from many islands,and many SA countries.. come visit for mothers day--you can easily find dozens of places that will have guinne pig on the menu (a traditional food for mothers day.)

Father S--is she working here? or in school? or a combo? and is it for a term (or contract term) or has she upped and left one coast for the other?

She welcome here--its a great place. (i love my home town!)
