"...as I don’t really care so much about the planet." 😂😂😂

"I think maybe it exploded in a landfill somewhere and destroyed a nearby small town." LOL - that's hilarious. I also loved Senior Citizen Roulette, and that the mystery of Sherita lives on. Great post!

I actually met the rubber band ball. I don't know how she made him into such a perfect round ball! Go find him!!!!!!

Nancy you were part of history. SO JEALOUS!

He ( or she ) really was a good looking ball. He had a little stand, too! About an inch high. I think it kept him from rolling off. I don't know how someone could see him, and not absolutely gush about what an interesting thing he was. I would see him, and say, " oh, the rubber band ball! Look how big he's getting." Then I would carefully pick him up, and put him back down. He was a heavy dude! But in a good way. It made me feel she really loved him, and took good care of him. I wish she would try to find him! Or, start a new one. I tried, but couldn't quite get the roundness. It's not as easy as it looks, and I don't get a newspaper. I miss him.

He really was something

I think the whole exercise, including throwing the ball away, was worth it just to produce your comment.

It's all true. Thanks.

"It’s rude to stop a New Yorker in transit. They may stop to chat out of politeness, but it’s painful for them." So so true.

The moment where both interviewer and interviewee refer to the ball as "he" is an interesting moment!!!

Anne Kadet's avatar

Hmmm! Yes, interesting. If only the ball were still around we could get some clarification.

So many postal workers are poets.

Ain't it the truth. Maybe ALL.

Try interesting and a fun hobby that didn’t cost anything

Anyone can play!:)

Maybe we should have a fan meet-up at Sherita's next show.

Anne Kadet's avatar

And we can all come dressed as Sherita. Think how happy that would make them!

inky's avatar

It would make them something, for sure.

Woohoo! I made it into the newsletter! Really love Senior Citizen Roulette, but I think we need to hear from seniors in other boroughs.

Your wish is my command, Mr.Estrin.
