Congrats, Tony!

Have I ever mentioned that my wife's people on her dad's side all come from Newark?  Her dad even had the old "Joisey" accent, which I hear is disappearing.

Her mom's side are Polish from Buffalo.

It would be a shame to lose that accent, cause it's gold.

Seriously.  Regional accents are a connection to history. 

Most people don't realize that if you showed up at the Globe Theater in the 1590's to see the latest Shakespeare play, the actors onstage would all sound more like they were from Alabama than London.  The "proper" British accent we know now - called "Received Pronunciation" - did not become commonplace in England until the 19th century.

I don't recall hearing it. That's interesting. I spent some quality time there. My alma mater is in Newark.

Let's get humping! There's a long weekend on the other side of this.
Not for all of us. Though, my sister and her family will be in town, so I'll have a lot of action packed into just the 2 days.
You can always excape over to Johns with us if you want.

Well, I guess I should go put on some pants. I barely made it out of the shower in time for my meeting so I'm only wearing a shirt.
Why shower at all, just comb you hair and ......
never mind..... :-X

Speaking of Newark, did you see that a Soprano's prequel starts on HBO+ in October?  "The Many Saints of Newark"
