  1. rf, that clothing vendor operating out of a van opposite the Hong Kong station restaurant on bayard st in chinatown – her son got full scholarship to MIT. I remember the kid helping out at the van often too. hope my boy can turn out that well too and not only would I be proud, I can retire early (ie bank his college fund as retirement fund)

    “Murray Bergtram High School of Business (third-rate ghetto school in lower Manhattan) and is on his way to HARVARD! Second generation Chinese kid.”

    My sister graduated from this school, chose not to go to college (she had that option) and is today a highly paid manager at Verizon. She worked hard to get where’s she’s at today (homeowner in Virginia) – something you would never understand.

    Yes, I noticed this too.

  3. “oh totally. imagine getting stuck with a Mr. Roper or Mr. Furley situation!?”

    Is THAT how you see me, rob?? (Don’t think I could rock the Hawaiian shirt/white slacks/silk scarf look quite like Mr. F, tho.)

    Rob, $9.50/hr to rent my mini-me to get you into the park. no accounts payable. cash on delivery of child

    I am sure that you are teaching mini-me about entrepreneurship. Does mini-me negotiate a fee split?
