My, how beautiful it was in New York today! Not a cloud in the clear blue sky, a cool dry breeze, warm spring sunshine, and the trees and flowers all in bloom. Just absolutely perfect. As good as it ever gets.
I hear that Occupy and sundry political groups clogged up the streets of Manhattan with various marches and demonstrations, but here in Brooklyn there was none of that, as far as I know. It was simply splendid; one of those fine, rare days when even a cranky old sourpuss like me feels spirited and optimistic.
