Sitting on the subway, overhearing a 20 something woman, chatting with a 20 something man about their work place a bar. It was primarily about who was sleeping with whom. ‘But he’s married’, she said, to which he replied ‘Guess he doesn’t remember.’ A day later at another establishment was overhearing two young slender stylish …

Post Storm
Well, the City was prepared and Friday night it looked like a zinger. But Saturday dawned, the sun came out, the sidewalks were shoveled by all the immigrant workers, the streets were plowed by the garbage trucks outfitted with plows, the stores and restaurants were open, electricity, gas and water operative…life continued. It was actually …
Chinese New Year
Sunday, 10 February: New Year for the Chinese Community. It is the year of the Snake. In China town, they are selling lots of red decorations, special sticky rice pies – which are brown with sugar- special cookies. There is an air of anticipation.

We Have a Storm
It’s after midnight on Friday night. As I look out the window, it is that harsh winter landscape.

Drunk in the Subway
For context check out the video on The Guardian [uk] website of the recently released footage of a young girl who apparently is intoxicated, steps out of the tube, can’t stay on her feet and rolls under the train. It seems so unlikely but the other night I was in a subway train that was …

A Long Day’s Journey….
When a theatre production closes, there is a letdown. The cast and crew have worked, hopefully, closely together and intensely and then everyone departs to reality. I was on my way home and entered the subway station, dragging. I heard a gentle, not mournful, slide trombone playing. I found the player and as he was …
