(Apr 7) Went to visit my mother.
There’s a park across the street
Beyond the park, a trail. I’m probably not supposed to follow it.
The journey ended badly for a traveler before me
It’s cleaner than the Gowanus Canal, at least.
There were a lot of these “utility pole trees”.
My mother has some photos of long ago
I was about 11 years old at the time.
The holidays are really starting to feel like a chore. I wish it weren’t so. I’ve come to understand I can change this, but that too, feels like a chore.
I decorated again this year. Or rather, I “decorated” in 2000 or so, and I haven’t un-decorated since.
Christmas morning, I turned on the fireplace. It’s so much easier than putting up a tree.
