Signs and portents indeed abound. Why, it rained all week! Then I saw 2 sixteen foot high inflatable rats on 21st St. Why would a sixteen foot high inflatable rat even need to exist? I don’t know, but let’s get two of ’em! And as I ascended into the fog atop the Williamsburg bridge on my morning bike commute, through my headphones crooned “leave your life behind you now and float away with me.” How does ipod always know?Â
Most ominous of all, yesterday’s fortune cookie had no fortune in it.Â
If you are like me, I am sure you spent this past week in a form of reflection on your life and your insignificant place in the grand scheme of things with an attention bordering on obssession every time you heard Bittersweet Symphony come on the radio.  So we have all figured out that life is a highway and love hurts and we are ready for our sweet, sticky dose of redemption.
