Editor's note
Last January, I spent two weeks working an internship with a magazine in Manhattan, New York. I stayed in a Midtown hotel with three journalism classmates and we ventured
out exploring every night for those two weeks. One rainy, Saturday night we were out bar-hopping and, with the average price for a beer at $6, my wallet was starting to look too empty for
me. I told her I did. "You will have a bright and wonderful future together," she told me. I smiled. "You're a good person," she said. I smiled again. "Come into my room," she said pointing her hand
comfort. So when I spotted a sign that read "ATM Only $1.50 Charge!" I made straight for the building. The cash machine was nestled in a foyer of an old building. Just as I was taking my check card out of my wallet I heard an old woman's voice. "Excuse me?" she said. I spun around to find a little woman cloaked in a hooded poncho. "I must see your hand," she told me. I was taken aback and for some reason I agreed. She looked at my palm. "You have a boyfriend," she told
in the direction of a tent with red sheets. "Only $30 for me to read your palm," she said. "No thanks," I said, realizing that the entire conversation had probably been a ploy for money. Whether or not the woman had
some connection with the stars and knew my future or if she was just trying to make a buck, I don't know. Perhaps James Foley's article will inspire you to explore the world of palm reading. (See Page 18). I guess I tend to lean to the skeptical when it comes to palm reading. But who knows? Maybe the woman inside the ATM foyer knew something I didn't — Ben and I are still together.
