Listen here: My strongest and favorite memories from my adolescence were of my solo adventures exploring San Francisco. Not much else stands out from that time. I did all the ordinary dreary things: I went to school, I played sports (badly), I had a few frustrating dates. But what jumps out in memory was the […]

    Couldn’t listen to you yet. I am at the dentist’s waiting room. I have just read your epiphanies about what and who you discover in the street and your being alone enjoying these encounters. How beautifully you write about all this. In a way, something similar has always happened to me when I travel , go to milongas and suddenly come across somebody or something. Enjoy so much your art of writing, Kevin.

    I agree with Sylvia. You are lucky to be able to observe the world from your perspective. For myself, I barely pay attention.

I have doe similar excursions as an adult. Have you ever checked out the building foyers in the financial district? WOW!
