Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(Oct 8) Starts and fits. Lots of negativity from friends. Yay autumn.
My grandmother grew these. I can’t remember the name of it.
Past Pinelawn
The road to the dead is closed
Today the signs say… peeling
There’s always construction going on here

(Sep 12) An event complete, must be unwound.
The real story of this museum isn’t 9/11, but money.
Nighttime in the subway
I wonder what the eagle is about?
This time, from the other side
The city that never sleeps, sleeping.
Suburbia intrudes
It is impossible not to notice the sidewalk cows have all gone home
Where do you want to go today?
I note, nothing going to Port Jefferson. The Ronkonkoma line gets much more love.

(Sep 11) Some things are touchstones in one’s life. For each of us, these are different things.
First stop, arrival and re-departure
Stepped outside the station and started adjusting my camera
Saw an old friend
Wandered downtown, a reminder of college nights watching the Honeymooners with friends.
I’ve never worked at or owned a bar. I’ve imagined it a lot though. Odd.
Nothing screams Amish like an electric sign in midtown Manhattan
This is all Walter White really wanted.
I’ve had the Gorgeous George (it’s a burger)

(Jun 19) Roosevelt Island is about to get a large dose of change. It’s going to be change they won’t like one bit. It’s inevitable though. Underscoring this, it’s a Bruce Ratner project now, who will co-own the buildings, which come with free land, courtesy of the city. I can’t help but think the city is poor at selling itself to have to give so much away to those who will directly profit from this initiative. The idea that anyone has gotten a piece of Roosevelt Island free just seems scandalous.
Arrival. Deep underground.
It is a beautiful place, with a view of the east side.
Aside from the subway, and a bridge to Astoria, the tram is the only other way on and off the island.
And then on the other side of the tram bridge… you’re there already.
Now you see it… soon you won’t.
A familiar sight
The old, and falling down
The new and unfinished
The UN-United Nations

(May 25) I don’t know where this month went. It seems to have been largely consumed by drama in the house. The housemate with the screaming, crying, children will be gone June 1. Those kids are doomed. Doomed. Even their father has given up on them already and they’re only seven and eight.
Junior got fired
Port Jefferson smokestacks
This time, Junior didn’t get canned.
Romeo continues to lead a hard life
Back in one of the most familiar places
It’s not as tall as the Twin Towers, unless you count the oversized pole on the roof. It’s not even going to be the tallest in the city. But finally, that’s as tall as it’s going to get, and the pole is on the roof.
