mother nature is a man and other observations..

I was walking with my friend Ronnie on Madison Avenue and 88th Street. She brought up Jill Abramson who was recently fired as Executive Editor of The New York Times. Before I could answer, what are the chances that the woman walking next to us would turn around and say, “I heard you mention my name.” It was Jill Abramson and I said quickly this would be a Metropolitan Diary thing, and she just as quickly said “do it” ….and then she was gone rushing to make her crosstown bus. We had no opportunity to tell her that we thought her firing was a disgrace. Ronnie and I were amazed at our memorable New York moment. We both wrote our versions for the Diary and we shall see.
