And what makes me love cities, despite the uproar, are the constant reminders of the generosity of life, the readers on the subway, the cheeses in the deli, the pictures in the gallery, the musicians in the park. The exuberant salad eaten on the sidewalk amid bus exhaust and the drawn faces of passers-by.
Garrison Keillor, Life is Insurmountable, but we Mount up Every Morning
My Christmas season doesn’t really start until I listen to Garrison Keillor’s “Now It Is Christmas Again.” Sure, there are sexier picks for favorite Christmas album. However, overly sentimental stories, corny jokes, and traditional carols all in one album? Yes, please.

Picked up their LP at Academy last week. Really digging this band.
New York’s New Solar System by Udo J. Keppler. March 30th, 1898.
A political cartoon from 1898 depicting NYC revolving around Richard “Boss” Croker, the head of the Tammany Party. Given Bloomberg’s recent comments that the final decision to evict Occupy Wall Street was “his and his alone,” it doesn’t appear that much has changed.

Terrarium number 2 has an earthworm in it! Not on purpose, he must have come with the plants!!! (Taken with instagram)
First ever attempt at making a terrarium. Built in an old mason jar. Hope it works out. (Taken with Instagram at Red Hook, Brooklyn)
