I spotted this graffiti at a subway exit in Washington Heights tonight. It made me smile.

My voting life
Like many Americans, I lost a lot of faith in the democratic process during the 2000 election. The problem was, I had no voice. A senior in high school, I was six months shy of voting age. The closest I got to the polls was a mock-election at my small Texas school. You can guess how that turned out as easily as you could spot kids wearing Wranglers or crosses.
She calls me “the loud neighbor”
One of these days, I’ll ask her, “Won’t you please not be my neighbor?” (Thanks for the inspiration, KK).
Rainy city
“You look fabulous in red,” the old man said to me this morning as I walked in the rain, dodging puddles and shifting my umbrella up and down as I maneuvered through heavy, squeaky foot traffic.
Judged by the cover
I see a woman on the subway who refuses to move closer to her neighbor and free up what is obviously room for one more person to sit down. I notice she’s reading Why Men Love Bitches.
Sunset Park with my city lover
Saturday is a big day for TBID and me - the bliss is going on the road. We’ve taken a few day trips, but never something as monumental as this Saturday. There are a few reasons for this: 1) We’re really caught up in our personal weekend routines and get cranky if we don’t follow them and then spin in a circle three times before reuniting, 2) No, really cranky, and 3) TBID is one of the city lovers.
I’d vote for Tingling
I’m furiously freelancing until tomorrow night, so I’ma make myself scarce.
In the meantime, check out this judge running for NYC Surrogate Court:
The daily grind
Tourists, like buzzards, flock to Wall Street each day. I suppose I’m one of the dead working souls whose patience they feed on.
NYC raccoons
I caught these varmints when I walked up Central Park North tonight.
Four guys, a girl, and a Central Park.
Saturday marked a turning point in my time with TBID - our first sausage fest. He and I met up with three of his guy friends for a day of boating. The weather was beautiful, and we loaded up plenty of libations and snacks for some salty speeding.
