That rule is, “If it’s free, take it.” This rule has led to some interesting situations, as you might imagine, but basically since there’s no such thing as a free lunch, when an actual free lunch comes around, I’m eating it. That didn’t sound good. Oh well. So earlier this week, I saw a free [...] See this? That’s where I was last night. At a free concert by David Byrne in Prospect Park with 27,000 other people who either really like David Byrne or really like free. I’ve been going to Celebrate Brooklyn concerts for years, and I have never seen them close the gates because the venue was full. [...] Seven is a mythical number in the world, and seven years is an almost mythical amount of time. In the Bible, Joseph forsaw seven years of bumper crops followed by seven years of famine for Egypt. There’s seven years bad luck if you break a mirror.

Even if houses were only half decorated on Friday, some lights or decorations were put up. Neighbor Forrest outdid himself and managed to put three giant inflatable light-up things [...] My urban family was all either out of town or busy yesterday, so I did something I haven’t done in years: I wandered around the city. I used to do this all the time when I first moved to New York, picking an area that interested me and then hiking around for hours on end, [...] I reread all of my previous 9/11 blog entries this morning, and through them I realized how much of a journey I’ve taken in these past six years, from completely raw and emotionally bleeding to today, when I’ve shed a few tears, but have been able to deal rather well on the whole.
