Althouse meets Instapundit and Dr. Helen.

As you can see if you read Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds is in New York City to do a Popular Mechanics conference. So I took a cab into Manhattan to meet him...



... and his wife Helen Smith — Dr. Helen — for lunch.



You might think we all already know each other, but in fact, I'd never met them.



Glenn had to go to his conference, and Helen and I went off to indulge in a little shopping.



Are you the kind of shopper who enjoys getting your shopping companion to buy things? I am!

ADDED: Helen says she loves the shoes. Glenn says he felt like we were old companions. Good point.
