Darryl Strawberry told me he loved me

Does it count that I said I loved him first?

Honest - a New York moment.

It happened Friday as I was scampering into my office. 42nd Street between Mad and Park - and there he was standing in the doorway of one of our local stores. Smiling and looking very tall...with people looking very short next to him.

What is it about us that we can see someone who we've never met, but have followed their life through the media for so many years, and then simply shout, "I LOVE YOU"?

Of course I wanted to do a follow-up - "STAY OFF THE DRUGS" - but that thought of course only crossed my adled mind as I walked away...

Yes, a New York moment.
