Some jottings:

• "He turned off her life support, and then went and had coffee with his daughter. Everything (and nothing) was exactly the same."
• The clouds are so thick that you can't see out your window. Everything past it is just an expressionless expanse of swirling white and gray. In this moment, the world need not even actually exist at all.
• The wind whistles here, literally whistles, like a mournful bird or an old woman who long ago forgot the tune.
• "Well, you see, they're two straight guys, and they're each trying to prove that the other one is gay..."
• And it's funny, because you're laughing, because you're realizing how ridiculous it is. (When you're trying to keep your umbrella from turning inside out, and it's not doing you any good, because the rain is coming at you sideways.)
• I think I like it a lot when real life starts to feel like the movies. It's good to be back in New York. :)
