Dress up to shop? That’s an option. It’s May and above 70 degrees; the toes are making an appearance.

Blue and suede

April has been really gray, hasn’t it? Or do I think that every time the sun is behind a cloud? No matter, I have great hopes for the may flowers, and how large and colorful they are going to be.

Economists are happy today because consumers have been spending more. Other indicators are the same. I’m not convinced the economy is picking up; I just like the orange.

The man in the black shirt tries a 2-arm method to protect the woman from the excesses of the city: the food! the shopping! the smells! the sights! the sounds!

Midtown in August
August 8, 2012

If rain starts coming down during an outdoor activity…JACKPOT! Spend even more on the shoes!
