5.35 miles

work was tiring today (but fulfilling).

the sights make me smile: a woman talking to her dog, ‘say bye bye’ to the park; a chef on his break with his lady; two man buns side by side; an adopted younger sister; a man taunting police people in their police car; a young man with a stroller, heckling passerby; ‘hello friend’; a kind eyed ups truck driver waving me forward; birthday cake being eaten in the park; a target on tenth ave; the met life building, up close; the smell of nuts4nuts; sweet smoke; two people passing each other, a moment of recognition and smiles; a scent of fish steaming; 20 dollars for an hour of parking; cheers for the kind of street performer that jumps over tourists; ambulance sirens; a man held the door open to the subway as he asked for change.
