Whee! I’m on the other side of the nation! I used to live in Los Feliz…. now I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Ain’t that a swift kick to the head. It’s all good though. The burg seems righteously cool in so many secret ways. And it rains here, too! I had to lock up my inner rainophile for 5 years but now it is busting out of its cage and bounding, all snarls, into the city, like that scene in Ghostbusters where the “doggie” comes to life and takes off down the avenue. No umbrella needed.

On my new subway commute the other morning, I watched from the other side as a bunch of people went for some empty seats. A lady across from them said, “hey, I wouldn’t sit there if I were you, a man just PEED there.” Yeah. So there ya go. Make of that what you will.
