We went to New York after New Year's. When we arrived a Penn Station and emerged onto 7th Ave, Daisy said, "Is
this New York City?" I said, "Yes, Daisy, this is New York City." A newspaper vendor heard us and interjected: "No, THIS is the City of New York." It was said with pride and warmth, a welcome. It reminded me of the humanity I always encounter there, in the busyness and among the crowds. I like seeing how New Yorkers live with many, many others and still retain their humor and generosity.
