Metropolitan Diary

Back in Town
Dear Diary:

It was just before Thanksgiving, and I was finally back in the city after being away for several years.

My first morning in town, I was out for a run when I paused at a crosswalk to wait for the light to change. I was not back in full jaywalking mode yet.

As I stood there, a woman walked up and grabbed me by the arm.

“Join me,” she said. “They never kill two.”
