I have a driver! ;)

...I groggily hopped in a cab to work this morning...drivers says "Good Morning, where to?".... "68th and York please...the hospital :)". A few moments pass as I get settled in a comfortable position where I can take a faux 10 minute nap, I look up to see the driver looking at me in his rearview mirror, "Ma'am is your cholesterol 130"....mildly creeped out and slightly intrigued I replied "um...yes". Driver "I drove you to work 3 weeks ago and you gave me advice on how to lower my cholesterol and said that yours used to be as high as mine until you changed your diet, I cut out all the foods you told me to cut out and I feel better already"...."Wow...that's great". 3 minutes of silence. Driver "Do you like chocolate?"..."Ahh...yeah"...said driver hands me an enourmous wrapped chocolate bar and says "my friend sent this to me from the Ukraine, open it and have some"...proceed to eat delicious chocolate. 2 more minutes of silence, Driver "I want to get into health care but hate blood and gore"...I gave him some advice. We pull up to my work, Driver "73rd and Columbus around 6:40am, I'm happy to be your driver...see you soon"....A perfect cab ride, only in NYC!!!
