She was hurrying along to cross the street beside me, this evening, and I didn’t realize they were together. She was carrying plastic sacks from the grocery store… in her 30’s. He catches up to her and says, ‘You’re on such a mission, you missed the beautiful moon’. She said, ‘Oh. Yeah. He said, ‘You …

Wasn’t There…
..didn’t see it, but must report what I’ve read in reputable sources. One night, prior to Thanksgiving Day, during an evening performance of the new play ‘Grace’, a patron seated in the balcony, apparently passed out, head lolling. When those seated near him, reached for him to assist him, he pitched forward and ‘tossed whatever …
Hearings
My attorney friend KMcG has a great habit of listening as she navigates her daily life on the streets of the City. On election day at 10 am in she heard a man, walking behind her speaking into his cell phone say: If Obama wins, we’re f@#kd. After lunch walking on another street, she overheard …

Remember..?
the “if you can’t get to JFK on the subway then we have bigger problems” story? I was approaching a young woman speaking with a MTA worker in a florescent vest at the 14th Street station this evening. ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘You take the train North to get to FarRockaway.’ “Are you sure?’ she queried. …

Spam filter a total success. Returned to no spam, not a one on the site, what a good thing.
Out of Bounds
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade – didn’t see it. Crowds of folks milling about Times Square all weekend, missed it. Wednesday, prior to Thanksgiving, saw six hours of theatre and then left town. A couple of hundred miles north of the City can be soooo far away. One sees the night sky in all it’s stunning …
