We saw an old friend of Nicky’s, and a new friend that we met whist in Prague about six months ago. I don’t have to tell anyone who has ever lived in NYC, and then gone away, how right it felt to be wandering the streets again. I love walking this city; I love chatting to the crowds, people watching, taking in the many faces of what it means to breathe this space. No, I didn’t actually make it to the parade – the closest I came was watching some kids play in their costumes in Washington Square Park (and I forgot my camera). But I was there in spirit…. It’s good to be home. Art soon.
