I'm 6'2 and not a small person.
I live in the East Village, and occasionally people will recognize me there. When I'm in Williamsburg, I always get recognized. Midtown, not so much.
Always my fallback is - I'm gonna move to a poor town and open a scone shop.
I can't wake up at all without caffeine.
My mother was predominately a stay-at-home Mom.
I figure, oftentimes the best way in is through humor, and you can deal with serious situations a lot easier, or at least bring up the conversation.
