Public Service Announcement

We were packed cheek to jowl this morning on the 4 train bound for Manhattan. She was wearing that New York uniform of baseball cap, hoop earrings, dark clothes... Her hair tied up in the back... Suddenly, when we were about to hit 86th Street Station, she dropped, fainting. To their credit, the fellow New Yorkers caught her under her armpits, eased her fall, and turned her around to a sitting position. (I for my kept my hand palm open at the ready behind her back were it to have fallen to me to assist the folks catching her.) Folks, if this happens in front of you, hopefully it goes well the way it did this morning. Everyone was spot on - even her; after coming to, she disembarked at the next stop and took a seat on the bench, while I offered to call 911. (She assured me that she was fine, and I went on my way...) So if someone falls, and is unresponsive, do not move them - very important. Rather, stay with them and call for help (or, if you lack a phone, delegate finding help t

"My optimism rests on my belief in the infinite possibilities of the individual to develop nonviolence." ...In a gentle way you can shake the world." When I reflect on recent goings-on in my life...

The Agony and the Ecstasy: H&M Review 16-03-2019

I'm an H&M loyalist, but never has this world class retailer - for many a go-to when they need wardrobe staples - never has it engendered any extreme feelings but those that are positive. Today, I visited their flagship store on Manhattan's Times Square, where I encountered several sartorial thou-shalt-nots among the many must-haves. Salient moments from the men's department in photographs (five megapixel): Yes, Yes, YES! To this classic-seeming take on vintage 1980s Members Only. Really, an improvement over the original. There are times when (granted, after applying some individual accents) I would wear almost exactly in what the H&M mannequin is dressed, but to pair the otherwise fetching jacket above with the pictured pants is a major, 'No!' I almost wanted to call the management (but I was frightened that I might face accusations of stodginess.) Oh God, the band collar button-down: I so wanted it to die ignominiously on the Macy
