BACK IN NYC

Thank heaven I am back in the land of the living.

Two weeks in Minneapolis almost turned me into a neutered breeder with a pot belly.

The big trend in freezing Minneapolis is to wear Khaki shorts all winter long. Why? I have no idea - it's just plain tacky.

As I waited for the L train today, a Jamacian man on the platform was strumming his guitar and singing a melody of Beatles' songs. As he launched into "Help", I tossed a dollar in his guitar case and thanked my lucky stars I live in the greatest city on earth.

Do you think you just hate getting older or you truly do hate Minneapolis?

Dear I must agree. I was at my fab gym (for you laymen...the 5 star Downtown gym in Milan) today. I was chatting and drinking my Acai smoothie, making plans to go to Billy Holiday tomorrow and the fashion week parties next week. I thought for a minute....., its a superfiscial life here.....BUT GIVE IT TO ME ANYDAY OF THE WEEK OVER POOR OLD MSP!

Honey - if you stay in Minneapolis too long you become one of those khaki wearing fatties - a truly horrible place to live.

Just so you are up to date on your facts last week the American Medical Association came out with the fittest cities and New York was at the bottom as one of the fattest cities while Mpls was in the top 10 for being one of the fittest cities. Look it up.

I spend 24/7 in good ole Mpls and I haven't seen one pair of khaki shorts this winter. Where did you see these herds of khaki wearers? Are you retarded or just an asshole?
