To Rachel

I originally posted this on a blog before a blog in April 2006. I remain awed by how much it remains truly relevant...

I recently had a conversation with an amazing person with whom I am so happy to be acquainted.

"Whenever I get irritated when I'm walking in crowds," she stated (which, by the way, happens regularly when you are a resident of this fine city), "I think about that quote that I read you."

She has read many quotes to me... words that strike her as incredibly written, profound, funny, or sometimes all three, she has the habit of sharing. I love that habit. But because of the number of choices I had, I couldn't recall the one of which she was speaking in this case in particular. My face must have relayed my enigma.

"You know, the one from New York Magazine--"

Ah, yes.

"--'People are such fucking fuckheads'."

I think she might be on to something there. And not only in crowds.
