By Louella Lester

When he enters a taller building he prefers stairs to escalators. No concerns about errant shoelace mishaps. Jerks. Tumbles. Shooting out the bottom like a spit watermelon seed. But he prefers escalators to elevators. No worries about about frayed cables. Jolts. Shudders. Getting stuck in there with all those people.
