Tis the Season

Yesterday was quite a day. I almost got into 2 fights with women before I had even struggled onto a super crowded subway. How do these things happen? people who should know how to be nimble on city streets and subway stairs become belligerent and refuse to move. Holy cow. Of course I am talking about me, too. I was definitely belligerent, aggressive and un repentent...sort of. But I finally made it to work and tried to have a zen moment. Zen moments in the plural. More Christmas cheer. I went to a super swank staff party with a guest list and then dashed home to attend the lobby party in our building with the much anticipated annual visit by Santa Claus. All the kids in the building have stockings with their names on them and Santa gives them presents which he personally has bought. Apparently this year there was some grabbing at presents and accordingly great chaos which I lay totally on the 4 or 5 boys who live in the building, and so I have volunteered Kate as an enforcer next year to help Santa Claus to keep these boys disciplined.
