Across from me is Mikado Murphy.
Officially, he is a movie editor here.
Unofficially, he is the Times rollercoaster correspondent.
He has published more pieces about rollercoasters than any other writer in Times history.
I have not fact-checked that, but it has to be true.
Welcome, Mikado.
Hey, Gilbert.
Okay, Brooks, first things first.
We have to get this out of the way.
We need to talk about this.
You grew up in a traveling carnival.
That's your entire job.
I thought it was just a couple of years.
So they sold cotton candy, but they didn't operate rides or anything.
No rides.
Right.
But you sort of were around the people who operated rides, games.
Is that like an acceptable term?
I feel like I'm, you know... You can.
