Things I Saw Yesterday, December 17, 2007

1.) A typical rich-all-her-life New York lady in a fur coat, slipping on the ice not far from Central Park. For all I know she may have been a patron to the arts, a good wife and mother, a desirable neighbor and model citizen. Don’t care. Still funny.
2.) Steve Martin, picketing with us WGA writers outside Time Warner.
3.) Actor James Spader, not picketing with us, probably doing holiday-related shopping. He strikes me as a Brookstone guy.
4.) Someone of indeterminate sex (because of all their layers of clothing) performing an “air hanky” outside of Grand Central station. Over a planted tree in the sidewalk. Revolting.
5.) Diamond Dairy Restaurant. A New York treasure.
