“Blurtso looks at the snow” (XVII)
I wonder what people did in New England before television and Facebook? I guess they read books to pass the slow winter hours… or wrote letters… or practiced the piano…
“A friend in winter”
The wind is rising, said Pablo. Yes, said Blurtso, the wind of winter. It’s good to have a friend in winter, said Pablo. Yes, said Blurtso, very good.
“Blurtso considers the stress of Harvard”
I don’t know why these students are so stressed…
the cafeteria almost never runs out of pumpkin pie.
“Blurtso visits the COOP on Harvard Square”
Mmmmmm, thought Blurtso, the food here is very good. And these chocolate-chip muffins are excellent! “Isn’t the COOP a great bookstore?” said a co-ed at a neighboring table. Bookstore? thought Blurtso. Is this a bookstore?
“Blurtso hits the books”
Hmm, thought Blurtso. My eyes are starting to blur… and my hoof is cramping… and my hind legs have fallen asleep… and… oh, no… I need to go to the bathroom!
“Blurtso visits Beacon Hill”
Doo dee doo dee doo, dee dee dee dee dee,
birdies in the trees, donkeys in the street.
“Blurtso spies a nor’easter”
Storm’s a brewin’… looks like a nor’easter. I’ve always wanted to say that, “looks like a nor’easter.” Every time a breeze blows, someone always says, “looks like a nor’easter.” This is a great place to watch the weather. Maybe I could get a job on TV? I could start the show with, “looks like a nor’easter,” and then I could say, “if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute.” Wouldn’t that be something! To get paid for saying, “looks like a nor’easter.”
“Pablo sings Saint Patrick”
I know where I’m going
Johnny I hardly knew ye
“Bonny and Pablo go for tapas”
There’s a bar on Inman Square named after Salvador Dali.
Ración de tortilla y una caña, said Pablo.
Y para la señorita? said the barkeep. Lo mismo, said Bonny.
