Paul Krugman Wins Nobel Prize for Economics

Congratulations!

Wow, that’s awesome.

I have two interesting Paul Krugman stories, both of the brush with greatness variety.

The first was from back in 2004. I had just recorded a segment for Wall Street Week at a remote studio in midtown, when I literally run into him — collide — sending my papers flying everywhere.

The second story is even less significant. I have the unique privilege of being the first link in his first blog post.
