"I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy." --J. D. Salinger

In a New York Minute

All it takes is a New York minute. A business exec taking time out to give bi-lingual train directions to a woman in need; a bureaucrat and tattoo parlor owner sharing a light moment in the elevator; a man discovering his stolen bike and then loaning it to the rider for the day; an ex-pat New Yorker living in Hawaii discovering a most unlikely connection between homes old and new. In the fast paced life that defines New York, these diary entries betray another landscape--one characterized by unlikely connections, moments of grace and gratitude.
