Life On The Train
I’m headed downtown. The car is pretty full with an assortment of riders belying that people are afraid to take the subway. You can’t live in New York City afraid…aware, careful but not so fearful you can’t live your … Continue reading
What’s In Store

Observations
I’m walking up Lexington Avenue. I’ve learned when feeling low, go out. Or as they say in 12 Step…move a muscle, change a thought. It’s colder than I thought so I’ve been weaving in and out of … Continue reading
