A walk through an undiscovered neighborhood is one of New York's greatest balms and pleasures, and at that time the number of new-to-me neighborhoods was much higher than it is now. It wasn't hard to walk home on a street I hadn't seen before. Thirty-third and Madison could be exotic then

I tend to give people money when I shouldn't. I just can't help it...I know everyone needs something to eat, and has a story. They break my heart.

Indeed, it is good to see you again. Reaching equilibrium with the new job?

A quick googling reveals this David Alan as the top result. I guess he got out of the design business.

I, too, am a sucker for people asking me for money on obviously false pretenses.

HA!

That is a great story.

You know I've noticed the "I'm gay" claim is used quite a bit by people in need of cash fast. There is a crack addict in my neighborhood who uses that line right up front. I think it's an attempt to put me or whoever he is asking for $$ at ease.

He has such good elaborate stories though, I always end up giving him a couple of bucks. I don't think he recognizes me, because every time I see him, he has a new story, new name, etc.
