Also known as “I really should have dug Jenn’s camera out a few more times.”
Saturday night, around midnight, the middle of Manhattan. A pair of red ski boots sit alone on a park bench, no owner, no skiiers, no snow anywhere in sight on this September night.
The New York subway is apparently beset by iPod thieves, to the extent that there is signage on the subway trains announcing that “the headphones are a dead giveaway.” Luckily, my ear canals are freakishly small and the iPod ear buds are incredibly uncomfortable for me. Instead, I use a $10 pair of generic Walkman headphones.
I had thought that my brother was the only person in the city who says “excuse me.” I was wrong. A 10 year old boy at Office Max said it on Sunday. Clearly, whatever it is that beats the manners out of New Yorkers hadn’t happened to him yet, or at least the process was not yet complete.
