I could never do that!

I wonder where that guy ended up? Perhaps at Shea? :)<br /><br />You do have an air of confidence and yet a friendly face, so I am not surprised that people ask for directions. Obviously you do know how to give them! I love giving directions and especially drawing maps for people---when I know where they are going and how to get there. Usually people ask Harvey (who is terrible with directions), assuming the man will know better. And I have to intervene and help them instead.
