I'd never really put that together before. [2] When he wasn't busy being a great Cape Cod painter.

Not many of those in the city. I sometimes find myself ducking down, as if something was blocking my view of the diner rooftop. Godamn good composition.

I have a strong pull to look back, to the past, but also know that I'd never leave the house due to depression if I dwelled too much there. Part of being a New Yorker is being passionate about what is lost, about even getting angry, or just plain being sad by the relentless change; however, another part of being a true New Yorker is shrugging your shoulders and soildering on. 4) Yes, well said.
