The Kid Brother came over this morning and he, San Geraldo and I took a walk for an early lunch at an air-conditioned restaurant in Coney Island. It’s about a 15-minute walk. It was a very hot day. The minute we left the building, San Geraldo started to sweat (excuse me, Dowager Duchess, he began to perspire).
“Oh, this was a mistake,” he soon said.
He took out his IKEA dish cloth and wiped the back of his neck.
“I don´t know if I´m going to make it,” he said.
The Kid Brother and I slowed the pace for the very uncomfortable San Geraldo.
He DID make it to the restaurant, but not before sticking the dish cloth under his baseball cap.

When I pointed out “the look” to the Kid Brother, he said, ¨What the…?!?,” shook his head and moved a few feet away. I joined him.
After a very pleasant — and very cool — lunch, we decided to take the subway home. San Geraldo rode the two stops to The Duchess´ apartment and The Kid Brother and I rode another 15 minutes to his neighborhood. It was hot (remember?), so the Kid Brother suggested a stop at Carvel´s for ice cream.
