The Big Apple

Went out walking today.  There is a street fair on Broadway from 42nd street up to the high 60's.  Walking in the street fair for me was like a blood transfusion.  I did not realize how very much I missed the city.  Yeah I talked about it and dreamed about it while living other places but being back here is literally like receiving an infusion of life.  This city is the life's blood of many people - including me.  

There was a stage set up at Broadway and 50th by the EEO Coalition.  Rap music was playing and two kids were on the stage.  One was singing while the other was dancing.  They were great!  Then a street musician joined them.  He played the clarinet.  He also was really good.  The spontaneous response of total strangers to each other that results in a wonderful performance - a typical scene here in the city.  The girl dancing on the stage reminded me very much of our youngest - DeaSha.  Same moves.  Good stuff.
