Yesterday was such a beautiful spring day. I walked downtown to meet a friend in Union Square. It was sunny and cool, with a nice spring wind. I had gotten a lot done this weekend in my writing projects. I can be a task-master. It’s hard to take time off. On Saturday I went and hung out with my sister Siobhan and my brand new niece Beatrice. It was wonderful! We just sat on the floor in Siobhan’s apartment, with Beatrice lying on her back on her little furry rug that she loves, and just watched her. Reveling in her. So that was beautiful too. And yesterday, I listened to Waylon Jennings on the ol’ iPod as I walked downtown through the crowded city streets, everyone out and about, enjoying the beautiful weather. Live it up. The humidity’s coming. The Flatiron is beautiful and striking from all angles, but I took this one through the trees in the park nearby. The building looks like an ocean liner. I have lived here for 20 years. I have never yet gotten sick of this building.
Have you been in it? My publisher (St. Martin’s) is in it. The view from the nose is quite satisfying.
Jincy – I didn’t know St. Martin’s was in there! I’ve never been in it – can regular people just wander up there and take a look? I’ve always wanted to.
I’m guessing there’s nothing to stop you. I was only in it one time–I remember an ancient lumbering elevator. This was a long time ago, though. Anyway, go for it!
I’m gonna!!
