The Pace of NYC

People use their horns in this city like pepper on a potato. I am in a car heading to Times Square, and traffic has us blocked up like an artery. My day has been meeting 1, meeting 2, meeting 3, and that’s okay. I’m starting to crave Wi-Max to use my laptop while at all these places.

Anyhow…

Good people offset my annoyance.

    It’s easy to forget that Chris is the son of a simple Hungarian potato farmer. That he used to scarf down potatoes every morning for breakfast, before heading off for a day in the potato fields. That his first ttenage hijinks (a night spent “potato tipping”) were fuelled by home made potato vodka. That his first sexual experience was… look, nevermind.

    Who’d recognize his humble, “pomme de terre” roots as he jets off for another high-end 2.0 meeting?

    Hardly anyone, until, of course, he whips out his famed ‘Big Book of Potato Metaphors’

    “People use their horns in this city like pepper on a potato.”

    “Hot? Like the way people use hot sauce on a potato.”

    “Messy? Like when a porn star sprays…”

    I think I’ve said too much. *wink*

    Say hi to my wife while you’re there.

    She’s biding time at LaGuardia as I type this.

    P.S. – Speaking of potato porn: Chris, do your mom and dad still have that enormous potato photo gracing the walls at home?

    I’m seeing a pattern emerging here…

    I’m glad to hear it’s still around. Though, I have to admit to being a little creeped-out by it. I always got the feeling the eyes were following me as I walked through the kitchen.

    You definitely need to keep your eyes peeled open when approaching or leaving the kitchen.
