Aug 22, 2017 · 1 min read
- Read my horoscope in not one but TWO daily (free) newspapers!
- Read the NYTimes article titled: Why Waiters Drink and Why it Matters.
- Read the NYTimes article titled: How to Stay Sane During a Solar Eclipse.
- Called REI Soho asking if they had anymore Eclipse glasses. Answer: no.
- Stared at cereal box considering making the Eclipse thing the NYTimes suggested. Nah; too weird.
- Went to city hall to finally pick up my divorce certification.
- Went to central park and forced my way through throngs to get to the top of a mound.
- Stared meekly at the people wearing Eclipse glasses.
- Stared at my feet.
- Finally mustered the courage to ask a stranger if I could look through his glasses. Answer: NO!
10 cont. Left Central Park, asked two more people if I could use their glasses for a quick peak. Both said: NO! Made one final attempt and this person said “YES!” After I looked and said “WOW!” She said “Amazing isn’t it!??” “Yeahh!” I said. Then I went to Trader Joes.
