why i no longer live in new york
[One of my favorite cartoons from my New York days. 1998.]
One of the great recurring themes of this blog is how much I miss living in New York. Go read my “About” page if you don’t believe me.
Still, there’s a reason why I’m no longer there. As a conversation I remember having long ago still humorously reminds me:
MANHATTAN CONVERSATION, 1999:
GIRL IN BAR: You drink a lot.
HUGH: Indeed.
GIRL IN BAR: Do you think you may be an alcoholic?
HUGH: Not really. I just use alcohol as an appetite suppressant.
GIRL IN BAR: But you don’t look like you have a weight problem.
HUGH: I’m not talking about food, Sweetheart.

A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
Manhattan conversation really damn funny.
Ah yes. Brilliant, lad!
Stop the appetite
Yeah. If only we could use alcohol like that more often…
