If you are ever in New York City and it starts to rain (and you’re in NYC now, the chance is likely), you will be shocked by the volume and velocity at which umbrella sellers pop out of the wood-work (steel-work? concrete-work?). It is as if they lie in wait in manholes, a bulging bag [...]

Home for Christmas Or Not
Posted in Cause célèbre: Holidays & Celebrations, Everything has its Season, tagged christmas, home on January 5, 2012 | 7 Comments »
I’ll be home for Christmas…but only in my dreams. It was December and this song seemed to be playing where ever I went. It was haunting me.

There was a line to get to the best photo-op spot, so I snagged this picture from the side. I prefer Bryant Park for iceskating and it seems that others [...]

After enduring a month of unsettlingly pre-mature cheer, it’s finally allowed to be Christmas. October 18: I walked into Duane Reade and gasped at the Christmas isle all set up and ready to go. Why do companies think this it the way to go? November 3rd: I was cold and went into Starbucks for a hot [...]
