Summer Firsts for July First:
1. Had to turn on the fan to fall asleep during the hot muggy night.
2. Strolled the Brooklyn Flea (after chomping on a crumbly currant scone and Tropicana tasting OJ).
3. Skated over to Dumbo to peer into the TELECTROSCOPE! (above). A few Londoners and I communicated by giving each other thumbs up. When I realized that it was real, with only a second or so lag and tremendous clarity, I got really excited and laughed and waved frantically, like everyone else. It felt like I was looking into a giant crystal ball, or a space-time port-hole, and got me thinking that one day we’ll have giant projection screens for our iChat video chats and we will once again be living in the future.
4. I might be getting a sunburn, and it feels nice.
