And you all thought I worked in New York City. Seriously: as I walked through Times Square today, I saw a sight that made me wonder where I was. Not to mention what kind of fertilizer farmers today are using on their squash.

What were a batch of ginormous pumpkins doing smack dab in the middle of the country's largest city, you ask? Seeking fame, of course. They were parked outside Good Morning America's studios. I think it was the segment between new thigh-busters and flattering fall make-up.
