Pat, with his new aerodynamic frame, was in desperate need of some new clothes. Harish would hear none of our talk of off the rack clothes for Pat. He knows a great tailor down on commercial street. So away we went.
A small man in a purple shirt appeared and sat Pat down in a folding chair with a pile of brochures from suit manufacturers (Hugo Boss, Brooks Brothers...etc...).
Check out Lauren, sitting on a metal stool, with a naked electrical wire hanging inches from her... also see the jagged broken glass in the display cabinet on the right!! Even in the jaws of peril, she is successfully doing what??? Let's take a closer look...
Yes, she has become a pickpocket!!
After selecting a style, it was time to measure up... Lauren has been moved inside to a safer location. The tailors assistant thinks she is too cute!
Measurements in hand, he instructed us, "mere pichhe aye"... hindi for "follow me". So off we went, following his purple shirt through the streets for 6 city blocks. 
We lost him a few times,
But finally arrived at a Muslim fabric shop, where we picked out the suit fabric...
All eyes were on the tallying of the bill!!
Harish made sure they had each others mobile number...
and that was that. Send your driver in 3 days time and your goods will be finished!!! We will definitely be making more visits to Commercial Street!

Hey Patnodes, Zebrowski's here. We're at Grandparents house for Thanksgiving and I was thinking of you as I was reading about the bombings in India. I'm glad all is well with you and you're safe! I've been thinking of you often as I look across the street and miss the activity. I can't wait to hear about the adventures. I'm sure the kids are having the time of their life (now that they are settled in). How was the adjustment? for them and for you?? All is well with us here. We just had the birthdays; Alana is 7 and Alexander is 3. Hard to believe the babies grow so fast! Lauren looks like such a big girl! Taylor and Andrew will be so far ahead of everyone when they come home; we'll be so mundane! I love the stay-at-home life. I'm having a great time with Alex and I love NOT fighting the clock at night. Tom is well, he's very excited about snowmobiling. We'll all be heading to Old Forge this year - Alana and I will be skiing and Alex wants to try too.
Stay well and safe. I'll look forward to visiting this site more often!
my e-mail is mzebrow1@nycap.rr.com.
