The Cane?
He was about 70 years old. A squished black hat on his head, metal rimmed eyeglasses perched at the end of his nose. A black anorak, black baggy cotton pants, black lace-up-soft-shoes firmly planted on a skate board, riding against traffic on a one-way street. But what made him unique was the protruding cane under …
Sandy Aftermath
Three things you might not have realized about the aftermath of such a storm. 1. The carpenters, plumbers and electricians have no time to give you an appointment, as they are already solidly overbooked. 2. They can name any price they want and you will pay it, [if wondering why, see #1]. 3. Supplies are …
Devotion.Discipline.Dedication.?
The bus just happened to pass by the falafel-selling-vender truck with the door on the street side open. The bus paused in traffic giving me the chance to see what the lone server inside was doing, as I noticed he was in motion toward the open door. He was arranging the flattened cardboard box on …
A Tree for All
A neighbor has placed her large christmas tree, too large for her apartment space, in the courtyard behind her. It stands there dressed only in white lights. But who can see it? Three apartment buildings converge around this courtyard. One building is only 4 stories high, some are 10. All the apartments in back of …

It’s the season again. The Aisles of Firs, in all shapes and sizes. But the best part is walking among them, as they line the sidewalks. The smell is transporting and somehow reassuring.
Roma
She was quite beautiful, normal weight, new grey canvas lace up shoes, clean, might-be-new-light gray pants. This was topped by a fine looking light grey sweater with a clean t-shirt underneath. Her facial skin and hair were clean. The baby attached to her was in an expensive carrier. But she carried a hand-lettered sign, asking …
Reaction to This
This electronic advert on a side street to Times Square is at least 20 stories tall. The pictures change depending on who is paying. It is not unsimilar to the huge Victoria Secret Adverts over their store in Herald Square. My self directed question is: what is this message: to young women and young men? …
The New Yorker
p. 60 of the December 10th issue. A reporter at large: Netherland by Rachel Aviv. May no family you know or are a part of be guilty of putting children out of the house, onto the street. I see them on Christopher St. as mentioned in the article. In my mind, when I see the …
The Cat Box
The lady who has her ‘house’ in front of the seven-eleven store on 8th, today had a litter box sitting out at the end of the space obviously for her cat which is in a carrier. I am not clear on how this works, knowing that cats are ‘trained’ on their time, not like dogs …
