  1. Read my horoscope in not one but TWO daily (free) newspapers!
  2. Read the NYTimes article titled: Why Waiters Drink and Why it Matters.
  3. Read the NYTimes article titled: How to Stay Sane During a Solar Eclipse.
  4. Called REI Soho asking if they had anymore Eclipse glasses. Answer: no.
  5. Stared at cereal box considering making the Eclipse thing the NYTimes suggested. Nah; too weird.
  6. Went to city hall to finally pick up my divorce certification.
  7. Went to central park and forced my way through throngs to get to the top of a mound.
  8. Stared meekly at the people wearing Eclipse glasses.
  9. Stared at my feet.
  10. 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.
