I wasn&#8217;t even in New York that day &#8211; but the humidity and soupiness had spread to where I was, so I can only imagine adding in the exhaust and the noise and the dirt of Times Square.

It was good to see Kerry.  At one point, I welled up with tears &#8230; and slowly, compassionately, without saying a word, Kerry pushed a tissue box across the table at me.  I went to grab a kleenex from it and saw that the tissue box looked like this:<\/p>\n<p>And I just <i>lost<\/i> it.  I am still laughing about it.  It was just the way she pushed the tissue box at me, nodding comfortingly, like she was Tyra Banks or something &#8230; but THAT was on the box.  It was brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>And during one of the Hope drop-offs, we were standing on the sidewalk, both holding our keys, and I looked down and saw that we both had the same keychain:<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, it&#8217;s a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, congrats cuz &#8211; for looking like a million bucks in the SOUP that was Times Square that day.
