Where In The World Is "Big Boy????????????????"

                               Those of you who have been on here awhile know about "Big Boy."  He is our mullet wearing upstairs neighbor, with a body, trim and athletic, but more from booze and cigs than actual workouts.  He is the one I periodically quote Philip Roth's famous line from "Portnoy's Complaint--"Oh do it to me, big boy!  Oh, shove it in me, big boy!  Big Boy!  BIG Boy!  BIG BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!"--from the bottom of the stairs, beckoning up to his apartment, which I picture as the opium den frequented by Anne Baxter in her Oscar winning performance as Sophie MacDonald in the 1946 film version of "The Razor's Edge."

                               The place must smell of booze and cigarettes.  There is no furniture, no curtains or decorations, just a stained mattress in the room used as sleeping quarters.  He does have an air conditioner, which we hear from time to time, as well as some clumping around, before he collapses and passes out.

                                But for weeks, we have heard nothing, or, at least, not very much.  There has been no sightings of him by us in weeks, so we wonder what has happened. Have I truly succeeded in "Gaslighting" him???????????????????

                                 I will give it till the end of Summer, before calling the boys in white coats!!!!!!!!!!!!
