Heating up to cool right back down
Hello, Readers All,
Last Saturday I was ready to bid spring a fond farewell as we hit 91 degrees. Today it barely cleared 50 degrees and the rain never let up. Must be summer in New York!
Ok, so maybe not quite yet. And summer can take its own sweet time getting here as far as I'm concerned. The heat is bad enough, the humidity and the stink, no thank you. But then there's what our neighbors call "music". Please.

Sitting here in the middle of Manhattan it's easy to forget that we're a coastal city until we do something mad like taking the subway to the ferry to the train to the very most southern tip of the state. Like AleXander and I did. Come along.

Speaking of doing mad things: I'm having second thoughts about this app on my phone called Citizen. Can you relate?

No fiction this week, Readers, but some people might think bike riders like these are the stuff of crazy stories but nope. They're real.

AleXander wrote something that is absolutely in season and important to remember. The weather has cut down on the BBQs but it's still Memorial Day Weekend with all that entails. Lest we forget:

There we are. Another week and more new work from me and my partner in life and art. Thank you for subscribing and reading. It's a big deal to us that you read our work.
If you're up for throwing a bit more support our way, us being struggling artsy types and all, you'll note the hat is by the door. All coins are very much appreciated and put to good use (NYU School of Dentistry can attest to that).
https://ko-fi.com/remingtonwriteAnd if you scroll down a bit right here you'll find the attractive blue link to subscribe to the newly emerging "premium" version of this humble weekly collection of essays, stories, and other assorted whatnots.
But really this little juggernaut's going to keep rolling regardless. Monetary support is glorious and hearing from readers is actually even better. So never hesitate to fling unused turns of phrase or overused cliches to me at: Remington.Write@gmail.com
Now it's time to get to work on next week's gems.
Until then, I remain awed by the fact that you're still here! Go. Watch some TV or play a video game.
