In the midst of a media storm, with me and Chapman inundated with Chipotle-type requests at opposite ends of the globe, I think of U.S. President Bill Clinton’s press secretary, Mike McCurry, who wrote that before a shit-storm, he would go have a smoke in the basement of the White House, just to collect his thoughts.

So this is my diversion to collect my Chipotle thoughts.

Beehive honey was an iconic brand in Ontario, Canada, growing up.

They always had a booth at the food pavilion at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, and usually brought in a professional hockey type to meet-and-greet.

It was only a couple of years since the Leafs had last won the Stanley Cup – so about 1969 – and I went to the Beehive booth and got Norm Ullman’s autograph.

About 25 years later, I met one of his nieces while on a family vacation.

But I didn’t know Beehive made cold-cuts. In New Zealand.
