It’s the night before my wee surgery. Am I nervous? Not really, although maybe I should be. I’m going to eat some Annie’s Mac and Cheese, watch the extended version of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and go to bed early.

I love my city. I love my neighborhood. I have no idea what it means to be proud to be an American., but I know exactly what it means to be proud to be a New Yorker.

My cat Zooey ate some styrofoam and then puked it up all over my new rug. I mean, it couldn’t have tasted good in the first place. I think he liked how it crunched.

All I really want, on the home front, is to feel good, and ride my bike. And I want to know when this war will end, and I want to know, to that end, what I can do. I feel great things are in store for this summer- I feel great change, great events… something. Something is just around the bend. It may not be good, but it will be different. I am looking for it.
