Suede wine boots. Slick streets after rain. Central Park and 65th. Setting up for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Last year these boots went with me to Antiques Roadshow in Newport, Rhode Island. We got caught in the rain on a cliff outside the mansion overlooking the sea. The rain didn’t ruin you. Us. Bolder than ever. Honesty in gratitude. Long Live. Love Long. No end to these streets. New York everywhere goes on forever like us. I don’t even know where this spiral staircase in my life goes but I know it doesn’t end. I don’t know where you are today even though I see your apartment near the sea.
