~ after having to watch the ball drop from 57th street, we returned to columbus circle for the metro. while waiting for the c, an announcement was made: ‘due to an incident, the c will not be arriving. please take the express a for all local stops’. we offer a special thanks to that announcer for letting us spend the next 20 minutes in terror over what the ‘incident’ might be. we would still like to know, but it doesn’t seem too be important enough to be in the news.

~ happy new year!
