trip to midtown

It's been a while since I've been out of my neighborhood.

But today, I have an appointment with my dermatologist, Rhonda Pomerantz. I've been seeing her for over 16 years, and can't imagine anyone better. She's smart. Personable. And responsive. If she weren't my doctor, we'd probably be friends.

To avoid making a decision on public transportation, I decide to walk. It's about 2.5 miles each way. Normally, that's a nice walk. But not in hot, humid weather. I am such a winter person. 

Central Park is beautiful and not too busy.



I haven't been anywhere near 5th Avenue since March. The streets are quiet. though it's only 10am and it is, after all,  summer. 



There is comfort in seeing familiar landmarks — a reminder that some things remain unchanged.



But not everything.




Poor Atlas. Our world must be getting harder to hold up.

But at least he's wearing a mask.
