Now that you're retired, why bother?

I wouldn't ever have bothered unless the
thing hung from shreds from my shoulders.
Anyway, I still do a few concerts - though
have recently been given the opportunity to
"voluntarily" retire from one of my groups.

Do you remember that you have a white jacket here? It is hanging in the closet of the hat room.

I have a vague memory but have not had the
occasion to wear it so it's not uppermost in
my mind. But while I'm thinking of it, there
are (at least) three suitcases unaccounted
for - one black backpack thing with a handle
that no longer retracts; one green one with a
handle that's busted; and a big floppy blue
and yellow bag. All these have music in them.
I suspect they may be out near the downstairs
back door. Don't make a special trip, but next
time you're in the neighborhood, could you
yea or nay that they are there? There were
some pieces of music that I missed, and it
seems that may be where they are.

As noted about the best ones I've had in my
travels, ideally there are also whole shrimp
(or big chunks of big shrimp) in the filling.

Do you remember these? They used to be
staples on Chinese restaurant menus but
no longer can be found.

We do have three or so suitcases/backpacks of yours. They are down in
the "wine" cellar. We have no idea what is in them. You'll have to
come look :-}}

I have had them at a sit down restaurant, perhaps when we went with you
to the dim sum place down town (that is no longer there). I cannot say
that I have looked for them since we rarely go to a Chinese restaurant
except for the occasional carry out near us.

Not sure that I've seen them with the sesame seeds, but it seems to me
that I've seen them relatively recently at some Chinese restaurant or
other... Haven't seen them at any of the buffets, though.... at least
not recently.... May have seen them at some point at the Canton one, though.... I may just have to check around locally and see if they are
still available at all....
