 I've been in the Northeast five years now and I'm not even kidding, I don't know where the time has gone, why or how. While Connecticut was an easy do and Boston has become comfortable over time, despite it's miserable weather and frigid people, never do I feel more like the Pike County Southern Baptist hillbilly I still am than when I'm in New York; and trust me, I haven't even been out all that much since being here.
I'm transfixed on the architecture, it isn't hard from 40 stories up, or 38 or 39, I forget. I annoy my friend at least five times a day asking childish questions about this building or that one. This is not new to me but when I look out at all those buildings and all those windows, each of them with a person behind it with a story or job, some nude in their own homes, some working, some on their sofa reading quietly, my curiosity overcomes me. Who is that? What's he like? Are they arguing or simply talking? Does she even know how bad she looks in that ridiculous outfit?
News this morning says the dollars still down, oil now at a new, now-daily all-time high, jobs are down, prices are up and we're all going to explode and die! I could use some good news today, is there any out there?
