You mean NY Parks Commissioner Bernadette Castro. Though I'd never heard of Castro Convertibles, I really enjoyed her on the Imus show. She was, and I assume still is, quite a character. I thought for the longest time that her family had sold cars with retractable roofs.

By the way, I just had to change the load in the washing machine. Went by the frig (hey, I quit calling it an icebox) and got a can of pop. I can't remember. Did mom keep the patent medicine like Carter's Little Liver Pills and Geritol in the ice box?

But think how hard it's going to be in a few years explaining why you say "dial the phone" or even dial tone. How and why do you listen to music on a record or tape or even CD? Grandpa, tell me again what film is and how you got pictures from it. You really had to take it somewhere and wait 3 days to see the pictures! And tell me again about how your telephones were these big boxes that were connected to your wall by a cord. Gramps, I think maybe you're losing it.
