Gleanings
- As for me, I love being outdoors at this time of year. Without leaves on the trees and bushes, the world seems so much bigger, more wide open, expansive. Beautiful. Not to be missed.
- Five Minutes for the Planet
- Fiction is a necessary construction, and sometimes it becomes a mirror.
- But within a year, Mark was gone. So, too, the Chinatown brownstone, the pub, Honest Ed’s, and Zipperz. And in their places, cavernous pits, large cranes and empty storefronts. The markers of progress in a city with a red-hot real estate market, but also indicators of loss, of absence.
- This is the pleasure, the delight of the “wrong” solution, the solution unknown to the algorithm.
- But just now, the light in the corner.
- You can of course watch a sunrise any day that the sky is clear, but this is the time of year when it doesn’t happen at 4:30.
