the namesake




I made a quick trip to New Haven on the way home from Boston (well, not really on the way home, but sort-of) earlier in the week, and Oscar and Abe and I had the chance to go see our former landlords, Abe and Zoia. That's right, Big Abe and Little Abe. They warmed right up to each other, even though they hadn't seen each other since Little Abe was a baby. They were sweet as usual and force fed Abe cookies and chocolate truffles. They almost fed Oscar a truffle when I wasn't looking. And Big Abe, a lifelong dental technician (he made false teeth in the basement of our house), admired the kids' teeth (all of Little Abe's and Oscar's one).
