Friday afternoon, Bedford Avenue subway station. I was so happy the trains were slow.
Guy playing an accordion in the aftermath of a late-season blizzard. Toodles through the "Habanera," then noodles into the swashbuckley music from "Pirates of the Caribbean," struggles through "Axel F's Theme" from "Beverly Hills Cop," and lands on the ultimate accordion tune, the theme from "The Godfather."
Best of all (and why I wished I had a camera with me) -- dude was wearing a Boba Fett mask.
Gawd, I love this city.

I got the full-dress intro to Brooklyn yesterday, helping my daughter move from Sunset Park to the northerly part of Bushwick and hauling furniture up to her new third-floor walkup. The BQE was jammed so we took Lafayette Ave., twice.
Was that YOU? Holy crap, I would have introduced myself.
Kidding.
You said you were sad, so I'm saying I restarted.
I have never been to Brooklyn. Or maybe we passed through on the way to the airport once. Went from central Manhattan to an airport from where we could go to London? Passed some monstrous cemetary? Spoke with a rising inflection, as if asking annoying questions?
