Things I noticed today

--So many middle-aged African-American men walk with canes; I counted seven in the twenty minute subway ride.

--A woman on the metro rested her head against the seat, eyes closed, a smile playing on her face.

--Sun falling on an graffiti-covered brick wall can fill a dirty alley with grace.

--Students in the back of the classroom surf the net while I lecture; those closer in tend to listen, nodding to signify they are awake.

--Pulling my daughter onto the couch and snuggling under a blanket with her vanquishes her crankiness.

--The post-office flag wasn't flying by 9:03 this morning.

--Red stained the side-walk at a corner of Lexington Market, too thin for ketchup.
