This morning we visited the Temple of Capitalism. The one and only true god is Money. The view from the 86th floor wss magnificent.
Then er walked down to Greenwich Village. I bought a book by Saul Bellow (Ravelstein) for $6 in a second-hand bookstore on Mercer Street.
I met an ice-cream seller on Chelsea Market who was a fan of Opeth (Swedish metal band). So am I. He recognized the band name on my T-shirt. In the bookstore I bought a book by Paul Auster (New York Trilogy).
Buy, buy, buy. Oh great Money; we worship you. Do we?
