Moving into my new apartment this summer (September was still 80 degrees yo...that's summer), I would waken to sun streaming through my window and open my eyes to the vibrant jungle green leaves of the tree outside my fire escape. Having my mattress on the floor is actually a beautiful way to look up to the world outside my bedroom. And now the leaves are becoming such brilliant shades of yellow, orange and red and for at least a little while longer, I am still woken by streams of sunshine that fortunately always get me before any alarm can go off. Ah, nature, so practical and useful! On another note of the seasonal changes, I have been sick with the mother of all colds/flu for the past week or so. Bed ridden with all the fun things that go along with that. Ah, nature, so practical and useful! Right? A break is sometimes forced upon you when you don't know how to take one for your self. So, I surrender humbly to the sickness that infests me.
Had to go into the city today for a court date (a ticket for riding my bike on the sidewalk, real bad ass) and a not so surprising coincidence occurred: Two older Jewish women (or they were just foreign and wore funny things on their heads) were on the same car as me going into the city from Brooklyn. After my court date, about three hours later, I get back on the train going to Brooklyn from Downtown and the same two women are there on the same car as me again. Duly noted. It happens all the time, but still, huh? Makes you think of the odds.
Here's a song for today from one of my favorites, Mose Allison: "I'm not discouraged, but I'm gettin' there".......he has a way with words among other things. Style people, delivery, it matters. What happened to the good ol' days?!!!!
