Your humblemost beginnings

[dannyboy]

Hi Mario,

It's great to have you here... I have admired your books and TV shows for many years.

Way back when, I recall you mentioning on one of your shows that you started your illustrious career in my old stomping grounds, New Brunswick, New Jersey. Was I hallucinating? If I wasn't, care to elaborate?

Thanks, and the best to you and your future.

-Dan
