Storm

Yeah that's all that matters.
Albuquerque, New Mexico - May 2006

Man, I tell you, I dig these east coast thunderstorms. I know I'm out of practice seeing these. It's only my second summer back from the great beyond, but it seems like there are more this year than I remember, and what's more, is it seems like every one that happens forms directly over Bay Ridge. For the better part of the last month, these storms have been happening, late in the afternoon, or deep into the evening. They light up the sky, and the second there's a flash, there's thunder, thunder that sets car alarms off, thunder that makes babies cry. Thunder that makes the dog not react at all. These are the great payoff for dealing with the relentless sloppy humidity. They'll always be better than anything on TV.

The sky just flashed over Weehawken. There's another one coming.

Babies

No compliments just bitching.
Brooklyn, New York - July 2006

After a weekend with an apartment full of babies, a weekend when the crib showed up, a weekend with people saying "it's only a matter of time," while holding towels and blankets with cartoonish pastel-colored turtles, giraffes, and on them, a weekend in which even what seemed to be all the beer in the world couldn't wash away the truth, Tanja's moved into the "any time now"-phase. There's no turning back. Yes, I'm nervous.
