Bland, vanilla guys from the Valley (like me) are not even represented.<br /><br />It is funny the divide though, and I'll bet it happens a bit NYC: We get newscasters coming into the wilds out here and totally not knowing where they are. You know, mixing up one neighborhood for another one 15 miles away?blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-24523604631473857862009-06-14T14:33:32.446-07:002009-06-14T14:33:32.446-07:00Well, I recall Althouse ran a post on how big fami...Well, I recall Althouse ran a post on how big families were becoming a status symbol. Interesting. It would actually be a good trend, overall.<br /><br />People keep adopting kids like that and Malawi will be empty.blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430444326700437630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-50500645467301179212009-06-09T17:11:13.743-07:002009-06-09T17:11:13.743-07:00Just like LA I am sure.

Now that is a kind of New Yorker. As is the Tony Danza, Danny Aiello ethnic guy from the working class. As is Sonia Sortamayor in her own way as a minority hispanic striver who made her way in her profession. It takes a lot ingredients to make up the stew that is New York.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268985416439660021.post-43792966458991872862009-06-09T17:04:34.400-07:002009-06-09T17:04:34.400-07:00You don't know the half of it.

They heard the biological clock break down and they rushed to adopt children. I have this one fortyish woman who is big in liberal politics in downtown Brooklyn. She went out and adopted a child from Africa form the same place as Madonna. The kid was four years old already and was pretty much socialized. It's a lot different than adopting an infant let me tell you. Their interactions are very interesting and I am with you, just wait until the kid is in her teens. It is gonna be a bumpy ride.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.com
