A & M

A & M have come to visit us this week. It's so nice to have people here--to change the arrangement of the air and energy in the apartment a little bit.

They bring with them lovely little gifts: an avocado, bright red strawberries, a nectarine, 3 gerbera daisies, and a large bunch of celery, which we slather with peanut butter and munch on while they regale us with the New York minutia I miss so much--Chihuahuas in Chelsea, chaos at the Zabar's fish counter.

I'm so grateful for their presence, and for the fact that our orbits get to cross, if only for a little while.
