A nasty rainy day in The Big Apple and that is fitting for my mood because yesterday afternoon I got a ridiculously high rent increase proposal for my lease renewal on PHC.
It was a proposed 17% increase for a one year lease and 19% for a two year lease.
BILLI POD WENT BALLISTIC!!
Went down to the rental office in the building to talk with the leasing agent, Doug Goodenough (yes, that is his correct name) and he immediately blamed everything on the rental office staff, and the conversation quickly turned into a “good-cop vs. bad-cop” thing, with Doug being the “good-cop.”
Bottom line - he told me to calm down and that he would contact the rental office to see what, if anything, could be worked out.
So, the battle is now on and I have already projectile-vomited twice in the past 24 hours.
Will keep you loyal and faithful readers advised as I begin exploring my relocation options.
Now, on to more pleasant things, like ...
Last night’s CIRCUS INCOGNITUS was a lot of fun. As expected, lotta kids in the audience and they had a ball.
The performer did some amazing things. See it if you can.
Tonight’s entertainment event is ...
8:00==>CAPITOL STEPS @ Town Hall - “Back by popular demand with fresh new material--is the wacky group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employ them.” (Off-Broadway - discounted TDF ticket).
I have seen this group perform several times in the past and they are very very funny. I will definitely need to laugh.
Well, my loyal and faithful readers even though Billi Pod is in a bad mood, he will close with one of the last musings (come on ... you know you are gonna miss them) ...
Musings from THE MIND OF BILLI POD (a memoir in progress):
“Why was the scene in “Star Wars” showing Jabba the Hut mooning Hans Solo deleted? Because once seen, the scene will never ever leave your mind.”
GO GATORS AND GO YANKEES!!
