The pic says it all. Winter was awful this year, but I have concluded that winter is just awful in general: darkness by 4 o'clock in the afternoon, frigid weather that numbs your guts, and a sour malaise that descends over all of us that would rather be hibernating.But something happens in spring. Restaurants drag their tables and chairs out onto the sidewalk, refreshing beverages appear on menus, and sun dresses come out of the closet. Today I met a friend for lunch in the Village and we both faltered when Victor Garber walked by. Silly, starstruck fools.
Sometimes I think life sucks. Even for us spoiled, privileged folks. But a blue sky and sunshine is for free. And worthy of devoting just a smidgeon of my heart toward gratitude. Selfish little heart that I have. Today I said goodbye to an old job, hello to a new job, and continued to mash around options for my next job (I wonder if I will ever cease to be a brooder?). And now I am off to meet some friends for dinner. This is a great city. An outstanding city, actually. So, I toast thee, NYC on this late spring evening!

OK - I had to look up Victor Garber, but I DID see him in Titanic many years ago. AND...we share a birthday, so that is fun. He is 11 years older however!!!
I want to hear about the new job and what other options are out there these days!
Yes, more news about new job please! I totally agree with you about winter and then spring/summer...I guess we just wouldn't appreciate how wonderful the springtime is if it was that way all year round. And, if I think really hard, there must be something good about the winter time....
I miss you, my love. I wanna hear all about what's new in your life and all that jazz. Love you!
hot damn - I would probably become incapacitated if I crossed paths with Mr. Garber.
Spring mornings are the best. They are almost as good as autumn mornings. I can't wait to visit NY/NJ this July.
