a city reader

I was tired this morning. The bright sun outside the window made it worse. It was too demanding. I didn’t want to answer the bell today.

But what I do in the morning is I go hold the sign. If I don’t do that, what’s my day? What’s my life? If I think the message on the sign would change everything, then let’s go kid, I said to myself, even though today is my oldest child’s 49^th birthday and this kid’s going to be 71 in two weeks.

I went out with the sign. Like I do.
