Tom’s Diner

It was 1958, the winter after I was cut from the New York Chimps. I was sulking around the house, some days not even getting out of my pajamas. But one morning for no particular reason I woke up ready to take on

the

day

.

I took a walk to get a cup of coffee and the paper at the local coffee shop, Tom’s Diner. The weather was mild for a November morning.

I loved Tom’s Diner. My family had been going there since we first came to New York. I always thought it was funny that it was called Tom’s Diner because it was owned by a guy named Richard. Whatever his name was, he made the best cup of coffee and the best scrambled eggs on Long Island.

When I was in high school, my friends and I would sit around Tom’s for hours, and just eating pie and talking until the sun came up. I guess we had nothing better to do at the time, but we

enjoyed

She tilted her face up to the sun with her eyes closed for a moment as she adjusted the bag on her shoulder. She was the most beautiful chimp I ever saw. I held the door open for her and then quickly sat down next to her at the counter.

---

I ordered a coffee and told the woman behind the counter that I would pay for whatever the chimp sitting next to me ordered.

---

That’s not necessary,

she

said

---

You can pay me back by keeping me company, I said. I had never been so forward in all my life. I am usually a very shy chimp but something just took over that morning.

I paid for our coffee and when the waitress slid the change across the counter,
