For six years between 1998 and 2004, a very young tennis pro made a commitment to eliminate French fries from the diet.
It took that long and weekly counseling for over a year to put a certain event behind me.
We were having dinner in a basement level restaurant in downtown Chicago.
The waiter delivered our food and Kevin Gross was staring at a huge basket of French fries directly in front of him. He had a bite of his mushroom burger and was about to reach for some fries when a large and agile cockroach emerged and scampered from fry to fry.
There were screams from the women as Kevin and friends brandished forks in an attempt to kill the pesky intruder. The unwelcome rascal vanished as quickly as he had arrived and the basket of fries was put to bed in a trash can outside. So……no more basement restaurants…..and goodbye French fries until the trauma of the cockroach subsides.
