(Our first Ed “How’m I doin’?” Koch quote, since I’ve been posting these spoilers.  He was a very gregarious, and colorful, Mayor of New York City, way back in the 1980s!  Back when I lived in Manhattan, and then Brooklyn, while I was young and single.  I don’t think Ed ever met a camera that he didn’t like.  Today’s quote is a great commencement speech line.  Ed said it, but, as with any politician, some speech writer could have come up with it.  Regardless, it’s a great metaphor.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
