july 19: joanna, from the subway

there were about ten-too-many people squeezed into the subway on the morning commute.  i was standing there, pushed up against a sweaty guy on his way home from the gym, a business man in a suit who was reading a newspaper that would occasionally sweep my face, and a bright eyed girl who, come to find out, was a graphic design intern for a company based in soho.

i was thinking about how nice it would be to just be cruising off to 712 fifth avenue in a taxi rather than this hot crowded subway car when she, with a little laugh, said,

"isn't this fun?"  which, i think was referring to the fact that we were packed in this subway car with a bunch of new york professionals, getting to experience the real new yorker lifestyle.

and then i remembered the adventure that this summer is and has been for me.  and then i remembered to value every moment, and to stop wishing for anything other than what it is, because like lila said, this is it!
