Dear Family and Friends,
After much cajoling, haranguing, imploring and just plain hocking from all of you, I finally decided to start a blog. Not just any blog. A blog about living, working and playing in the greatest city in the World.
The following story is true. R., S. and I went to an event on the toni Upper West side near Lincoln Center. Now, whoever said "stuff" does not happen in this nabe is either a liar, in a coma or dead.
So, here is my maiden blog. Enjoy!!! If I happen to offend anyone, I apologize in advance. Some of the language is a little spicy.
While R, S and I were walking to the the Barnes and Noble on Broadway and 66th Street, a teenager threw a plastic bottle at my head filled with Mountain Dew and then ran down the stairs to the subway. Of course, former Auxillary Policewoman Herman was ready to pursue and R told me not to. So we went to the token booth or whatever the hell it's called these days and the woman was really nice. She called the police and said she was sorry that this happened. So by the time the police came the thug was probably assaulting someone else. Then the ambulance came, then the police brass came. All 20 of them. At this point I expected the Messiah to walk down the stairs to the 66th Street downtown train. Son of a Bitch could at have at least thrown a bottle of Diet Mountain Dew. I will never look at Mountain Dew the same way.
S. asked the Police Officer who was taking my information (and I repeated my phone number at least 3 times) when the ambulance would come because she wanted to see the cute guys. R said that the Police were already here. Ladies, get in line. This is NYC.

Thanks so much for your encouragement and feedback. I feel like Carrie Bradshaw only there is absolutely NO sex....
I can't wait for the next installment either. It just has to happen....only in NY, only in NY.
Hey rachel,
Your memoir's are quite amusing and send me (and all that read them) down a trip of memory lane. Keep them rolling (literally)
