"I Miss Thurman Munson" - Sunday Afternoon, Washington Square Park

Trying to build strength, biked down to Washington Square Park yesterday. A cool breezy day attracted a smartly dressed pup in full team regalia including knock-off Converse sneakers. I was impressed by her attire and her deep thought stance as she sat quietly on the edge of the fountain with her human. They entered the park from the north through the arch and went directly to a prime seat at the park's center. I could tell from the look in her eyes, she missed Thurman Munson, double-headers, and pre-renovation Old Yankee Stadium with the bullpens where they should be in left and right fields directly next to the fans with tolerable barriers easily dismissed when direct contact was necessary between a fan and a player.

My story, "Over Her Dead Body,"is part of a terrific new anthology, "Have a NYC 2."Three Rooms Press, the publisher, is throwing a launch party at Cornelia Street Cafe on Fri, May 3rd @ 6pm. Come hear the writers read from their odes to New York City. Here is a link and more details to follow.
