13. Great. One of the most embarrassing moments of my life.....
(and, trust me, there have been many) was watching the homicide verdict on these huge screens in the atrium of The World Trade Center, Dallas. I had a couple of showrooms there, and was watching from the fourth-floor balcony.

There must have been a thousand people on the floor, all watching.

When the verdict was announced, a huge cheer went up.

I absolutely could not believe what I was hearing. I made up my mind, then and there, to get out of the Gift and Leisure industry. I had cut my teeth on that business and was one of the best-known people in the trade.

And I walked away from it and never looked back.

Fuck Orenthal James Simpson. I hope he rots in solitary. But I hope his heart doesn't give out. I want him to serve every miserable second of his sentence.
