Remove your shoes before entering the house . . . an "is-shoe" of contention!

When Marash Girl was living in Manhattan, and later in Cambridge, the custom was for visitors and residents alike, before entering, to remove their shoes and leave the shoes outside or just inside the doorway . . . thus, when Marash Girl married Marash Boy, she expected the same custom to prevail, but as in all marriages, opposites attract! Marash Boy saw nothing more anikramlī than requesting guests to remove their shoes before entering the house. Guess who won that argument!!!

Is Your Sixth Sense Telling You Something?

And, apropos of yesterday's blog post, Marash Girl herewith repeats herself: "If you feel that your sixth sense is telling you something, don't ignore it!!! Pay attention . . . it may be something of importance!" Especially today, on March 6th!

Remembering Charlie Merrick and Norman Krim - - They Remembered It All!!!

Charlie Merrick (several generations older than Marash Girl) and Norm Krim (a generation younger than Charlie Merrick) . . . though neither knew the other, the Norm who lived in the East and one who lived in the West (the East and West of Massachusetts), both good friends of Marash Girl, both wih incredible memories . . . On different occasions (as the two never met), Marash Girl asked them the secret to their incredible memories . . . and they both had the same answer. "I write it down . . . ," Charlie in his yearly bound memorandum, and Norm in his little black book from the Harvard Coop. Oh, and let Marash Girl not to forget to add that they read their writings over on a regular basis, just to insure that they would remember those facts and incidents correctly!!! How Marash Girl misses Charlie Merrick and Norman Krim!!!
