Short Hills

I know what they're gonna say.

There's Ukrainian flags in Short Hills-

Right

... on, on people's lawns.

Shomer Shabbat, Shomer Torah Mitzvot.

Matter of fact, not only did he make this Russian guy religious, but the rabbi's wife from Short Hills, she was working with the ladies in the community.

She actually made a Russian young lady religious as well.

And you know where this is going.

And in no time, the two of them were engaged.

Wow.

This was going to be a wedding that Short Hills, New Jersey was never going to forget.

But the rabbi knew.

But, uh, he was cool.

He, he like it was when I stayed in, uh, when I was with my grandma at Short Hills and I went to NationsFord, um, we would like walk to school or whatever, and there was this kid David that stayed in our area.

He was cool with us, but he was kinda like a older bully dude, but he seemed like he thought I was all right.

And I guess he had emotional issues, got in trouble with something, and I just saw him walking down the street, uh, walking down the hallway with his class and I was walking the other way, and I was like, "David, what's up, bro?" And I put my hand out and he just punched me in my stomach.

There's, there's lots of plot twists.

But the really weird thing is that the, the, the woman that starts everything, this rich kind of businesswoman, lives in Short Hills, New Jersey, which is, like, not very far from where I am these days.

So it's all around, like, the [laughs] central, like, northern, northern bits of New Jersey is where the action seems to happen, which is a really weird place to base the start of your, like, f- multi-book, uh, series.

[laughs] So I just thought it was really, really tickled that I ended up here.
