Day after Christmas...

Here I sit, day after Christmas, wife's at work. Still trying to adjust to my new schedule and find time for writing, admittedly, I'm not doing so well finding the time to write yet. Surprisingly, given my position on the work totem pole, I didn't work yesterday and enjoyed a beautiful day with the wifey. We went to the movies. It has been unseasonably warm this year -- let that sink in -- and I found myself peeling off my coat as we walked through quiet neighborhoods towards the little independently-owned theatre. Once again, dispelling the idea that New York has only massive stores and shops. I was quite surprised to see the line already forming outside as we rounded the corner. Then realizing, and remembering, that we live in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, I had my duh moment of the day. Our first time to this theatre, I was instantly spiraled back in time a few decades. It was, itself, a little theatre out of a 1950s movie. We saw Into the Woods, by the way, and it was marvelous. It was a day to be cherished.

Today is another beauty of a day. The sun has filled our entire tiny place, which I guess isn't that hard to do, and I'm slowly waking up with the help of some strong, patient espresso. I'll head into the city in a bit and soak in some much needed magic--the city never fails to provide. Sunny, rainy, snowy, the city turns on its magic and I am once again captivated and inspired. I'll carry with me the first Harry Potter book for my reading time while on the sub. I decided to get an early jump on my reading list for 2015. Harry Potter series first, then Les Miserables and Don Quixote. After that...we shall see.....

Enjoy the last few days of 2014; we'll catch up in the New Year. Peace.
