when evaluating new technologies

I flew to Chicago from New York

Crazy? Sure. Worth it? Absolutely.

PROMINENCE

He may also hide here when the

This coconut milk cost less than $1.
Cost isn’t everything though;
I’d have paid at least five times that
on that hot day in Costa Rica.

28. Service
SERVICE
Aside: She was my sever at a Hong Kong
dim sum restaurant. Her name tag read “Steven.”
She was kind, manic, and territorial of her
tables, and she may be the best server I ever had.
