I lost my eyeglasses in Singapore. The good news is, I have a very minor prescription, so I can see pretty well sans lenses (passed the driver’s license exam without).
Now that I’m back at home in NYC, I don’t know if it’s the glasses, the absence, or the other things I’ve seen on the flip side of the globe, but the NYC I know looks delightfully the same — if not stronger than my memory made it out to be.
The colors, even though it is a gray, winter day, are brighter. The cold, winter air is crisper. The friendly new yorker smile and wave is warmer (really). And when the city welcomes you back with a snow storm … well, you get up a little early and find the fun in making snowballs in the city. It’s good to be home!
