Well, after all the excitement in midtown yesterday, things are mostly back to normal, save for a few “frozen” blocks right around the site of the explosion (including, sadly, all of the places I usually go for lunch). We all know that one of these days we’re in for the real thing again, but this wasn’t it — and so we get right back to our routines, with just an occasional glance over our shoulders.
Life goes on, unless it doesn’t.
