(Mar 3) Things have somehow gotten really, really broken. And just under the surface, they are boiling.

the silence of the signs
Crash.

flattened
It looks bad, but there wasn’t any car parts.

it comes with its own lighting system!
The second of my plastic electric kettles died. I love this new glass one.

(Feb 7) Visited my mother for her birthday, since I was sick my whole time there for Thanksgiving.

my bed is the place to be
They are with me now more than ever


Six and a half hours of train travel is about to begin

probably not an option, regardless
I wonder how long it would take to fly upstate

penn station
From the LIRR to Amtrak

sigh
Four and a half hours in this seat.

(Jan 24) The white, fluffy, doom approaches. No, it is not Mister Stay-Puft from Ghostbusters. (original filmed down by my office!)

Before:
you can feel it coming
Winter has thankfully been uneventful, thus far.

but it is bearing down on us now
There has been no snow this season

it won't be long
And now, we wait …

After:
ohshit
Arrival

the snow
My back still hurts from shoveling

(Jan 21) At some point, I don’t remember when, I discarded my bills and other papers relevant to my time in Port Jefferson Village. I have now discarded similar items from my time in Brooklyn. I no longer see my return to NYC as a return much anymore. It will be something new, something different.

no, seriously
I went to LaGuardia Airport and all I got was a photo of this sign

this seems a less than optimal use of time
I spent far too much time putting these stickers on bags

(Jan 15) I feel like I am returning to the past, except it’s a good thing to feel the energy of a Internet bubble. Just like 1999. And just like 1999 there may be trouble just around the bend. It remains to be seen how much exposure I have to the bubble bursting. Last time I was pretty much unaffected. (I Wish I could say the same about the Great Recession.)

problem dog that he is
I worry I might not be able to take him with me

which perhaps is why it's a problem, quite a lot of time has in fact, passed
I remember this, like it was just a few years ago.

really, i don't
I don’t even remember this boy

this guy, i remember, very well
The past is past. But it makes me who I am today.

i will always miss him
Atlas now is the same age as Billy was in this photo from 1998.
