Soon I will be capable of making it ANYWHERE.

A friend of mine recently told me that when one goes to New York, one should throw around the phrase, "Big Apple" fairly regularly. As this is one of the labels used by New Yorkers "in the know," using it should immediately ingratiate oneself with these locals. Armed with this indespensible insider's tip, I'm leaving for the "Big Apple" early tomorrow morning. I can't decide if I should wait until I reach the hotel, or just come immediately off the plane with both arms akimbo boisterously exclaiming, "Yep! The BIIIIG APPLE!" I'll tell you one thing I'm looking forward to, though: some Big Apple pie. It must be really good there, right? Yessiree. So, Manhattan, prepare to be taken, 'cause here I come. Ready to address you as the large fruit that I know you are. Readers, when I return I'll let you all know how savvy the locals thought I was. Have a good week everyone.
