Cabs Are For Kissing: We Create Our Own Karma
http://cabsareforkissing.blogspot.com/2014/07/we-create-our-own-karma.html
Saturday, July 12, 2014. We Create Our Own Karma. The Mark on East 77th Street is a posh, boutique hotel which caters to the well-moneyed and well-connected American Aristocracy of the Upper East Side, and to the Flying Cosmopolitans, mostly Europeans, along with at spattering of celebrities (I’ve picked up two from there - Jane Seymour. And, quite recently, Eliot Spitzer. And would I be interested? She had a problem, she said. She was a model (you see, I knew it! This sounded like a good idea. You can a...

Cabs Are For Kissing: Well Worth The Eighteen Bucks
http://cabsareforkissing.blogspot.com/2015/05/well-worth-eighteen-bucks.html
Tuesday, May 05, 2015. Well Worth The Eighteen Bucks. There are certain rides which you suspect will be trouble, but then it turns out there is none. For example, the passenger looks drunk, acts drunk, is. What I do in a situation like this, as I’ve described elsewhere in this blog, I call my “ Three Strikes And You're Out System. 8220;Ridgewood, yo.”. 8220;So what street do you want in Ridgewood? 8221; I asked. 8221; the kid on the right-rear grunted. 8220;Where are you going? 8221; of one sort or anoth...

Cabs Are For Kissing: The Three Strikes And You're Out System
http://cabsareforkissing.blogspot.com/2008/01/three-strikes-and-youre-out-system.html
Sunday, January 13, 2008. The Three Strikes And You're Out System. Quite often, after a passenger learns that I've been driving a cab in New York City for thirty years, they will ask me if I've ever been held up. Is my usual wiseass reply. How many times would you guess? They think about it for a minute, doing some kind of math based on a thirty-year time span. When I tell people this, what I usually hear is, "Knock on wood.". I have a system. The one you think it is, it is. The one you think it is, it.

http://cabsareforkissing.blogspot.com/2014/03/help-find-harry.html
Sunday, March 02, 2014. This post is quite different from what you would expect to find here. His name is Harry Devert. I know Harry personally. His mother, Ann Devert, has been a friend of mine since 1967. In fact, her name is mentioned on the last page of my book in acknowledgment of the help she gave me while I was writing it. Here is a picture I took of Harry and Ann at a college reunion in 2008. Here is the link: http:/ facebook.com/helpfindharry. Friends and for their friends to invite their. Well,...

Cabs Are For Kissing: Miracle On 10th Avenue
http://cabsareforkissing.blogspot.com/2014/04/miracle-on-10th-avenue.html
Saturday, April 05, 2014. Miracle On 10th Avenue. We live lives of small unanswered injustices. You come home from the supermarket and notice that you were overcharged a dollar and a half for the tomatoes. It’s not right, you know, but you also know it’s not worth the trouble of going back to the store to get your money back. So you forget about it. But then, as I approached 49th Street, it happened: a sudden outrageous menace appeared from out of nowhere in the middle of the avenue, arms waving, eyes cr...

Cabs Are For Kissing: More Speed Of Particle Flow
http://cabsareforkissing.blogspot.com/2014/01/more-speed-of-particle-flow.html
Tuesday, January 07, 2014. More Speed Of Particle Flow. I picked up a twenty-something fellow a few nights ago in Chelsea who was on his way to 57th Street and 3rd Avenue in Midtown. For five minutes there were no words spoken between us except for my “hello” and his announcement of his destination. And then, this:. 8220;Are you the Eugene Salomon who wrote the book Confessions Of A New York Taxi Driver? The book, he couldn’t put it down, he’d told all his friends about it! 8220;You read it? This is the ...

Cabs Are For Kissing: Public Lewd Versus Private Lewd
http://cabsareforkissing.blogspot.com/2013/11/public-lewd-versus-private-lewd.html
Thursday, November 21, 2013. Public Lewd Versus Private Lewd. Quite often during the course of a ride a taxi driver gets to learn - either by being a fly on the wall or through direct conversation - something about a passenger’s interesting story that is still in progress. But then the ride ends, the passenger departs, and the driver is left wondering how the hell it will all turn out. But of course he never gets to know this. 8220;So where in Garden City are we going? 8221; I inquired. I suppose, but, l...
