Today, people in NY were trying to get back to work.  Which meant in their cars.  Which meant that Manhattan was in a state of absolute gridlock.  Which meant that, outside our window on West End Avenue, there have been car horns honking non-stop all day long.  Varese would have been thrilled;  me, not so much.    
When I went out, I discovered that it was Halloween.  I also discovered that, in NY, kids go trick-or-treating at stores along Broadway.   So the local pizza joint hands out candy to kids, as does the dry cleaner.  I wonder how long this has been going on?

Tomorrow we are supposed to get limited subway service...
