GREY POUPON
Yesterday, after I dropped Grace off at her home, I needed to get to the airport fast. It was almost 4:30pm and traffic was bad. I thought I would take short cut #3 that cuts through the back of the little mexican market. As I went around the corner and in to the parking lot... a lovely Rolls Royce. When I saw the plate, 1 POUPON, I thought of the television ad where the man in the limousine asks "Pardon me, do you have any GREY POUPON?" Just then a very attractive, and charming man came up to the Rolls. I asked, " Is that like the commercial, and can I take a picture of it?" He said, "Yes." By then I had two cars behind me. He said, "Hold on." From the car he gets a bottle of GREY POUPON !!! And poses for me. By then I had a parade of cars in back of my taxi, and I had to get to the port, so I told him thanks and drove off without learning his name!
I got my first computer early in the Summer of 2004, and began blogging almost immediately. Thanks to blogging I have been a part of several newspapers and online blogs. By that August I was featured in the lead story of the Tech Section in the San José Mercury News. Then what a pleasant surprise it was to find that my blog, "Taxi Vignettes" was the reason I was chosen as the best local blogger of the year (2006) by the Metro Newspaper. Fall of '06, I was contacted by a reporter, asking if I would be willing to be the topic of her next story in The Willow Glen Resident. It was a cool two pages including photos. Am I having fun yet?
