The cleaning lady is over and we are schmoozing for a while when I realize I am about 10 minutes later than I want to be. I head downstairs, lugging a giant bag of laundry with me, and drop it off at the Laundromat on Broadway. For a brief moment I am tempted to take the bus four blocks to 184th but I relent and walk to the train station as usual. Along the way, right in front of Mount Sinai Jewish Center, I run into Henry R. He says good morning as he turns into the synagogue entrance.
At the station, there is a woman on the platform with a cat hat. Everything about the hat is as ordinary as the next one, except for two furry, triangular ears that extend above the top. I also see Avi S. on the platform.
At Rockefeller, I get off the train and start walking the rest of the way to the office. Stopping at Starbucks and seeing that the line is too long, I decide to get coffee at the corner stand, which usually has no line at all. Lucky for me, the person just in front of me orders a bottle of water, 2 rolls with butter, and 32 medium coffees.
