I am the City Dweller

“I am one… “I am love… “I am home…” So ended my unexpected jaunt through the city streets this afternoon. Though it was not in my immediate plan, when I saw how beautiful the day had turned out, I ventured out on a longer than intended stroll to streets and places I’d not been by before. It was then that I came across the lines above and found them to be ripe for writing about. They spoke to me, or rather to the inner being that I sometimes visit within myself when I find beauty in every-day things. The quote is straight from the tall, majestic windows at ABC Carpet & Home off Park Avenue and Broadway by 19th street. ABC is a New York-based furniture, textiles and fabric shop. However if you are fortunate enough to be able to walk up and down the many brilliantly exotic and welcoming aisles full of beautiful intricate and unique items for your life and home, you’ll agree that the store’s description is sorely lacking. Prior to finding that little gem among pearls, I’d simply been d

The Splendid Runner

Last night I had one of those moments that will remain with me indefinitely. Of the things I am grateful to my job for is the opportunity I have to meet authors I admire. For the record, I have met Mitch Albom, Rosa Guy, Edwidge Danticat, Julie Andrews and, last night, Khaled Hosseini. Dr. Hosseini wrote The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns . I attended the book signing, which turned out to be so much more, with a friend from work and her mother, who is also a fan of this extraordinary writer. As a result of this job of mine, I and my friend and her mom, were able to have seats reserved for us in the very first row, directly in front of Dr. Hosseini. Good thing, too, because by the time the author arrived, the place was packed with people from one end to the other. We, however, were happier than peas in soup! There was a decent stretch of time between when we took our seats and when Dr. Hosseini actually arrived. During that time, I witnessed, with admittedly quite a bit of

Idol is Down to the Wire

Well, well...Tonight's American Idol episode sure did have it's ups and downs. It was like a roller coaster, only faster. (As an FYI...I am home resting for a couple of days. I hurt my back at work in the most bizarre way. Don't ask, I have no answers). So, we're down to three contestants as the finale of Idol is fast approaching. The so-called 'rocker' teen, Alison Iraheta, finally got her walking papers. True to herself to the last, she was oddly awkward in her good-byes, saluting her tribute montage with an Arsenio Hall arm pumping throwback. And although I personally believed it was long overdue, the chick with the crazy hair and attire borrowed from a friendly streetwalker, had sort of redeemed herself - belting out songs with such fierce passion, it was hard to ignore she had skills. Not surprisingly, the final three standing are of the male persuasion. Truth be told, this outcome - barring any sudden burst of likability by Alison - was a given early in
