The Sign Above Her Head Read:
“This seat is reserved for someone in a really good mood”. Oblivious to the sign but seated below it was a girl, laughing and talking on a cell phone. Pure coincidence, as beside her, one seat away from the poster sat a somber pensive girl. They could as easily have been switched.
Don’t Ask
So I don’t have to tell. It was a weekend to beat all weekends, none of which is reportable. But I can tell you the main event I missed: the ‘No pants subway ride’. Everywhere, apparently on Sunday, improv groups in their skivvies and less were riding the rails and I missed it!!

Pickpocket
A description you won’t want to miss. You can see Apollo Robbins in action on youtube by putting his name in the search box. Or you can read a detailed article about his talent in the New Yorker, January 7 p 38. Either way you will not be casual the next time you are jostled …
