(Apr 27) It is now undeniably spring. And it becomes time to ponder the reasons why I am still here.

too familiar
Familiar turf.

i'd never really noticed this before
Though I still have not seen it all

hundreds of thousands? millions?
I wonder how many times people have walked past this sign.

unless the building goes away *cough*
This will now always look the same, every time.

anything for a buck, yo
Disney, stayin classy.

i don't care if worsener is not a word
Beer. The cause of, and worsener of problems.

(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.

the one and only subway stop
Arrival. Deep underground.

hello, manhattan
It is a beautiful place, with a view of the east side.

currently in working order
Aside from the subway, and a bridge to Astoria, the tram is the only other way on and off the island.

goldwater hospital
And then on the other side of the tram bridge… you’re there already.

catch it before it's gone forever
Now you see it… soon you won’t.

chrysler building
A familiar sight

renwick smallpox hospital
The old, and falling down

chisel me here
The new and unfinished

(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.

The past calls to me

going
Change is required

rebirth
To get to the future.
