Four Day Work Week

China is a mess.

The U.S. is a mess.

Greece, a mess.

Why do I feel so happy?

Because it’s supposed to be forty-two fucking degrees tomorrow and that’s gonna feel like Hawaii.

As one walks along the sidewalks of Manhattan and Queens, framed by filth-crunch, that frozen snow and dirt that hardens in hillocks along the edges of roads and Toyotas, one wonders, “Could this really be how people live?”

Okay, I know it isn’t Lagos with people sleeping slumped over their bicycles in 110% humidity.

And it isn’t frigid Yellowknife or Barrow, Alaska.

But still. Filth-crunch is Mother Nature’s little way of saying, “You are a dirty people. And you live in frozen garbage.”

But why do I feel so happy?

Because tomorrow, it is going to be forty-two fucking degrees and that’s gonna feel like the inner thigh of a twenty year old girl in a Hula skirt.
