Myron and Karen Uhlberg and me just after an amazing dinner on the Upper West Side. Karen asked a young, well-dressed woman standing a the corner of 78th and Amsterdam if she'd mind taking a quick picture for us. Her reply was a half-hearted, "Ok, but if a cab comes...I'm hailing it." That's the kind of self-absorbed New Yorker that gives all a bad image. It took all of 30 seconds to snap a photo and there were all of 20 plus Yellow Cabs speeding up Amsterdam. Classic.

Also pictured here is Myron's new memoir, Hands of My Father. It is stellar!! As the hearing child of two deaf parents, he has a wonderful story to share...pick it up!
