The Big 30

Well, today it really felt like winter. Cold. Rainy. Grey. Gross.
Winter in New York can be good. The bums stay underground because it's so yucky, but winter in New York can also be bad. Everyone heads underground (to the trains) because it is so yucky.
Sidewalks get sludgy, pant hems get destroyed, hardwood floors get grimey... But, there is also the sparkle.
Decorations come out, lights are strung, boughs are lain in all the tree rings to prepare for Spring... and the hibernating bulbs...
One more thing to miss.
