Banksy’s Better Out (in the Upper West Side) Than In – Hammer Boy
Joe Fox: Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address. On the other hand, this not knowing has its charms. — You’ve Got Mail
There’s something about the crisp air, and that general lack of summer douchebaggery that makes me love New York.
Dunno what fall is like where you are, but here, when the air is clear and cold, and there are slightly less people, there’s the sense that we’re getting ready for school, family, and the holidays.
It’s comforting in the cyclic regularity.
It was nice enough that the wife and I met up with some friends at Banksy’s new artwork around my neighborhood over the weekend.
And then wake up early on a Monday morning to have coffee and pancakes at the local diner.
Me: If we moved to San Francisco, it’d be like this all the time.
Her: It’s not the same.
She’s right. Think of moving elsewhere all the time. But it’s hard to be beat the city on a quiet fall morning.
Me: It’s mornings like this that make me love being a New Yorker.
Her: Me too. (Sirens from a fire engine whiz by)
Me: Ah, the dulcet sounds of our fine city.
Location: -50 mins, a Broadway diner in front of a short stack
Mood: pleased
Music: trees whose shadows fall along sheep’s meadow
