yesterday in manhattan

i had to attend a training on child abuse and neglect to maintain my LCSW so i had to go to columbia University..

it was raining but i figured two hours would be enough time to get there so i left at 10am and got close to my stop at 11 so i decided to walk up from 81st street. Mistake, as i walked the rain got harder and harder..

i walked down side streets and looked into windows of brownstones to see how the upper upper side lives. on all the stoops the Finanical times was left there in the pink wrappers.

I walked up broadway, stopping where i wanted to and shopping.. Then i hit TOMS DINER
and saw the cathedral...

crap i thought.. I could have caught the morning Air America team and gotten swag on cortelyou road near my house from 6-9 ( i missed them)
shoot, i could have gone to riverside church to the funeral of luther vandross..
shoot...

so i suffice going by Toms Diner and hearing the bells of the cathedral ...

i attended the training drenched and walked down broadway til fairway and took the train home from 72nd street...

wet socks dont make good companions
