The third of July
Jul. 3rd, 2002 02:22 pmWaiting for the email to tell us we can go home early...
Had lunch outside, on a hot metal table in the sun. In the distance the steeple of St. Paul's chapel, where Washington went to meditate after his first inauguration, with 220 Broadway, where my father worked for a couple of years before he retired, behind, and to the right, 195 Broadway, where he worked many years before that. Three buildings I would not have seen from the same table the first week of last September. I could have lunched in the airconditioned comfort of our cafeteria, looking down into the pit from my usual table by the window, but somehow didn't feel like it.
Speaking of Washington, tomorrow is the fourth of July, and there are some dismal and just reflections on the Rational Review site. Rational, not National. Take a look and tell me what you think.
