There is still vibrancy to behold
To touch a petal To caress a flower To hold beauty within one’s arms There is still vibrancy to behold There are sumptuous delights Let it grow all around Let it lead to a connection There’s always hope
I’m becoming a night owl so as to be good at social distancing
I have always been an early bird. I wake up at 5am and drink two cups of coffee and go work out for 40 minutes. And, I solve a million and one problems and answer 1,000 emails before 9am. That would mean that by 9pm I wanted to […]
Even in lockdown, New Yorkers won’t eat certain things
I am going to admit something I probably shouldn’t. While working certain days from home this past week, I finally put my stove on. I’ve been in this apartment four months. And, I put it on not to cook. I, instead, put it on to heat a freshly […]
It should have been Goodnight Moon, but instead it’s Snowy Day
The other night there was a most beautiful nighttime sky in New York City. As I looked up and marveled at the moon, I was reminded of a news story that came out a few months ago listing the top books checked out at the grand New York […]
Goodbye NYC payphones
It had to eventually happen. The last time I used a payphone was five years ago in the airport in Rome. And, I barely figured it out. I am not unique in my non-use of public payphones. I always do a double-take when I see one. I do […]
One should always have a camera ready in New York
Admittedly, in New York one can come across many odd things. I know that was a very generic, empty sentence. However, it is quite true. You can see big rats the size of a cat chasing a slice of pizza. You can see a guy carrying a three […]
I’ll sleep on the train ’cause there’s no sleep till Brooklyn
I am in a major sleep deficit nowadays. I’m tired. Bogged down in fits of exhaustion and desire for REM. I would fervently relish going to sleep at a decent hour and dreaming of daffodils. But, I am in a sleep deficit. And, one cannot readily make up […]
No good deed goes unpunished, bozo
When I go to get my hair done. It takes a while. I have very curly hair that I, at times, straighten. I have very dark hair for which I get highlights. This all takes time. A lot of time. I get to sit in the salon with […]
NYC is a bad place to not get the flu shot
I am a hardcore New Yorker. Love it. Defend it at all turns. Relish in walking through the city streets and seeing the beautiful skyline at night. With that said, occasionally I do think New York is a bit tough of a place in which to live. Such […]
I didn’t run for the train
I run, run, and run. I’m in constant motion to and from. I fidget. I bite my nails. I’m in constant motion. I’ve always been this way. I was born like this. A decade ago, I would walk 45 minutes in the morning to work and 50 minutes […]
