(Mar 31) The end of March. April waits in the wings.

the gathering
A swarm of cars

habitat of the combustion engine
As far as the eye can see

on the way to somewhere
Takeoff

that's your data flying into the sun
The Cloud(s)

things that are up in the sky
Today’s theme is …

the birds
Another swarm

strange times
Birds in a snowstorm.

(Jan 30) The time is now. I have decided to replay the formula that got me to Brooklyn the last time. I have taken This Side of Paradise and The Great Gatsby off the bookshelf. This time I won’t be reading them on a porch in a rocker, with Billy in my lap and a brandy at my side. I hope the effect is the same. F. Scott Fitzgerald was wrong about one thing, I’m about to start my third act.

the suburbs, going nowhere
The present sucks.

eagle from the palace that was pennsylvania station
The past calls to me

going
Change is required

rebirth
To get to the future.

(Aug 1) A trip to see a client downtown. I walked back up Broadway as I have many times before, knowing this time, like the other times, would be different from any other time.

(Mar 27) Back to the city. In and out, very quickly. Most trips there end up like that now.
