| | I had just finished a workout @ my gym and proceeded to the herald square plaza; where I bought a muffin to replenish my carb exhaustion. Nibbling on the crusty layer, I began to look for a seat; scrutinizing the crowd, the durability of the seat to withstand my weight, the contour of the backrest. Most of the seats were taken and so it wasn't much of choice to be selective about in the first place. Looking... Looking... Ah...there sat a jubilant looking fellow. What the hec... I'll join him. Most new yorkers would mind their own business but this fellow gave me his business in 15 minutes. Yep.. not "Business" in the general sense but a personal run down of his life as it stands today. So he had 8 kids, a former spouse (whom has taken custody of the kids and vows to never let him see them ever again), child support/alimony and a court case due the 26th. He even exhibited his check that was distributed to him earlier. Ah... a grand total of: 29 dollars and 19 cents...He told me that he's getting paid minimum wage... or so he believes. I'd like to meet his accountant. Despite his adversities, he's able to smile and tell me how it's a beautiful day today. Now that, is a strong man. I really appreciated his time but as much as I felt inclined to help, his problems are way out of my scope... Thanks Mike if you're out there.
