I’m no fashion maven. You probably figured that out by my dickie turtleneck and British Knights. But I am a big, huge fan of the ladies’ lowrider jeans/skirts and the exposed mid-drift. In the late afternoons when the sun is behind the buildings, I forget that I’ve taken off my sunglasses and women catch me staring at their various body parts. I hope one of them says, “Take a picture. It will last longer.” Because I will take her up on that offer.

I passed a couple of bums today in Madison Square Park and they both were reading the paper. And I thought, “Well, if we have to have bums, I prefer them well-informed.” Because it’s important to always keep learning. Maybe some want ads were looking for “ambitious, go-getter bums”. They wear a lot of camouflage. Is it a political statement? “We’re invisible to society!”

Over the weekend, the L Train was running as a shuttle from my Bedford stop to Union Square. It stopped at 1st Ave and then Union Square, skipping 3rd Ave. This was the conductor's message: "This shuttle to Union Square will not be stopping at 3rd Avenue. If you need to stop at 3rd Avenue, get off at 1st Avenue and walk to 3rd Avenue."

New York City had it's annual Gay Pride parade down 5th Avenue today. I don't know if you're aware of this, but a lot of gay people are flamboyant. I saw way too many men in florescent thongs. And in the case of men and thongs, way too many is one. Some advice: a Gay Pride parade is not a good place to pick up chicks.
