Who Me, Brag?

 

I abhor braggarts

Now, Ahem!, after saying that, let me tell you who called me tonight. A New York Times writer wanting to know my take on a reopening of Chumley's Restaurant in New York City that my buddies and I frequented when I was stationed nearby. I mentioned Chumley's in several blog posts so I think he was out for inside information. Actually, when he told me he was with the New York Times and asked me about Chumley's I mistakenly thought he was talking about the infamous Carey's Restaurant on the 41. After we talked a while about this and that, mostly about Asheville, North Carolina, I think he finally correctly concluded he was wasting his time, and politely wished me a good night.
