July 2020: A Little More Exciting than June
July 4: Well the month certainly started off with a bang…I mean people had been setting off fireworks all night for weeks, but on the 4th they really went for it.
July 8: A big thing about July was the baby pigeons on my fire escape. They were getting bigger and bigger right before my eyes. I borrowed a telephoto lens from Ned to try to get a better look at them.
July 14
See? They look closer, right?
Momentous Occasion: I take my first subway ride in 4 months. I go downtown to make some big returns and check on the old China Town/Little Italy/Soho/Nolita/West Village situation. Really didn’t seem super different. I think I missed the part where New York looked empty and abandoned.
Back then I thought it was a big deal I hadn’t shaved for four months or had a haircut for five months but now I write this in August with a month more growth on both and think it’s all so quaint.
July 21
Bigger and bigger.
I went up Inwood Hill with Ned to see that comet. We saw it.
July 23: Another trip downtown to do a bunch of errands that didn’t really work out BUT I got out of the house and had my first Sweetgreens since the Saturday when I saw Little Women with Heather a real long time ago.
July 25: My preferred neighborhood Chinese take-out place has reopened.
