Today, was one of those very New York days. First off, sadly, today was the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. We are still all very much impacted by this in my beloved city. As I rode the subway today, I felt everything was more or less normal […]
I’m a New Yorker. I’m used to cramped spaces. We do not gave California closets. If we do, I’m sure that unfortunately some rent it out as a $1,000 room. I may be slightly exaggerating. Only slightly. In NYC, everything is cramped. Most other spaces in the United […]

Oh New York. Again, I love this city. Yet, each day lately I shake my head in wonder. Hate crimes against Asians. Feces throwing on the subway. Following people into apartment buildings. People standing braced against the walls on subway platforms. I’m old enough to remember feeling safe […]
