Suffer Little Children

I spent the day surrounded by dozens of excitable children, something I have never done before, at least not since I was an exciteable child. I wish I could say that I really like children but the best I can do is say I really like children sometimes. I guess most men feel that way.

Anyway, an hour ago while I was walking down 7th Avenue, a guy wished someone a happy new year and than as he and his daughter had walked away he turned and asked her, "When is it too late to say happy new year?" and they continued from there talking about how long after various holidays you could wish a person a happy holiday. It was so cute, I could die.

I realize this is a little trite, but it's these kind of quiet moments on the sidewalk that make me glad to live in New York City. Usually, we focus on the louder ones, but at the end of the day, these keep me that much closer to being a nice sane good person.
