30 Minutes with Stephie Pahlavi Zan by Martin Lazarow



My 30 minutes with Stephie Pahlavi Zan
We hit and missed each other 3 times, but finally on the 4 th we got it together.
I had been working through the night and needed badly to do my shopping. I had  no food left in the refrigerator, but Stephie said lets get it together no questions asked. I  am at Starbucks on 5th ave at Robinson ave.
I dropped everything threw on the clothes I had ( no washing in the last week ) and made my way out to meet in destiny.
Now I was not sure where Robinson was  and it was close to 10am. So I sent Stephie an e-mail that said 11.30 would do quite well.
I got to Starbucks early.
It turns out Strephie was there waiting in front of his laptop.  It took a very little time to fully recognize each other. Stephie and I only knew each other from our poor Prive pictures both of which did not do each other very well. But the clue that finally expelled all doubt in my mind was Cloe firmly at his side.
We warmly made a quick friendship with a strong firm handshake. I must admit I was very nervous. It's not everyday you meet with a Prince.
Now we met for coffee but I was more in the mood for a Frappucchino so I ordered a Mocha. I stirred up Stephies interest in that he ordered one too. He told that was new to him but it looked as time passed that he was enjoying it.
Cloe wasn't doing too well with Starbucks ice cream however but eventually had a go at trying it out.
Now the one thing I had long been pestering Prive members for was the ability to put images into my comments as words had a severe limitation, and an image says a thousand words. 
So without further ado Stephie put the computer in front of me and set out to explain things about images.
Herein lies my biggest embarrassment. Imaging requires copying and pasting. Now I was pretty well OK with this under Windows 98 but I had a new laptop using Windows 7 and with Internet Explore 9.
In one fell blow Stephie sorted this out for me and which took a bit longer than it should have, but Stephie remained cool and calm. The whole secret in Windows 7 was resolved by a right click on the mouse.   So simple when it is shown. But I told Stephie I would learn best when I got home an played around with it myself, and that is precisely what happened
So having sorted out this problem we started getting to know each other. Stephie has really settled down and is renting  and living in Hillcrest. This is much like New York's Greenwitch Village, but with a far different  climate physically and
environmentally. When he settles down he will bye a condo or the such like. 
Stephie is really looking forward to change his lifestyle fundamentally.  As he puts it no more suits, no more tuxedos.
He is delighted that he can live incognito, setting out anew to find out things about the world, make new friendships and feel out new experiences. All in all Stephie and San Diego are going to like each other very much
Hillcrest is a microcosm of nationalities, A range of restaurants, a range of nationalities, bookshops, and theaters.
I kep querreying him that he is going to miss New York's Symphonies, Theaters, Broadway, Off Broadway and the like. He  is most adamant that it is the range of personalaties that he is most desirous off. The main things San Diego has to offer in our City as we we call it San Diego Americas Finest City and the climate is perfect.
Al1l to soon 30 minutes have passed and Stephie has another appointment
Welcome Stephie, I can see San Diego is exactly what you are looking for.
Here's to another 30 minutes some time with me totally relaxed.
In a word Stephie, Amen
