This morning’s Facebook post from Columnist & Blogger at NBC Latino – Rachel Figueroa &  her daughter Adi of course : )

“Mariachi duo performs on the subway. Guy next to us gives them change. Adi sings the alphabet. Turns to guy and says “now give me money”
I ended up giving Adi a quarter because I didn’t want the other guy to (he probably would have). I told her no busking until she’s 16 (when she goes to the Heidi Kole busking academy :-P)”

My ‘busking buddy’ from last night. His name, Paul Newman, of course 🙂

So there was this guy on one of the cars this evening who looked so angry every time I glanced over I swear I thought he was gonna kill me before I finished the tune. His face never changed & eyes never blinked. He just stared with this crazy intense look. As I got to the close of the song I was trying to figure out how to walk that part of the train & avoid whatever he had planned…ugh. But I got brave & walked past & he actually, still without blinking, eyes still pinned on me, held out a bill…a $20. One never knows (note to all humans…BLINK! It’s freaky when you don’t : )

Woman on my floor (45) in elevator today: “18”
Me: “18?”
Woman: “Yeah, 18. I’ve ridden express 18 times to the 1st floor since the beginning of the year – I keep track”
Ah…NYC 🙂 ♥
