Former girlfriend loved NYC. Said "How can I get you there?"

I said "Bound and gagged in the trunk of a car"

Nearest town here is 3 miles away and it has 1 stoplight. Can't imagine living in NYC.

It’s great in your 20s and 30s. I worked in the Twin Towers twice, Rockefeller Plaza (that was before and after 9/11 and on the bus detour i would see the wreckage every morning and sigh.) I’ve worked at the World Financial Center.

24 hours a day you can get almost anything. I used to work till 2 or 3 am, get a can or two of Foster’s lager, and walk to the ferry. LONG walk but i loved it.

Now i’m 47 and I work on Staten Island. And even SI is too fast for me now.

Back in those days, I thought 47 was an imaginary age. Didn’t really exist lol. It does.
