So I run into this guy, David Waterman, this morning, and he tells me he used to my neighbor. I suddenly remember that this was the guy who came to my rescue when I was arguing with the homeless prophet putting slips of scripture under every car windshield. David had said: "A lot of us believe in what you're doing." It had made my day, although I started to wonder whether I had imagined it when I never saw him again, not knowing he moved.
Anyway, it turns out he wrote a little tune about me, referring to the name that, unbeknownst to me, has become my moniker in the neighborhood! I wish I could sing it for you,-- think very 60s jingle. It goes like this:
"He's nice, he's kind, he's really quick! / Here comes Mr. Pickup-Stick!"
I laughed so hard I cannot tell you. Color me tickled like never before.
If you're in LA, go to his show. Funny, funny guy.

mr. pick up stick is so much better than mr. pick up
Rod's comment made me laugh again. Love the jingle.
