Afternoon: I’m at a beautiful party with my family uptown and then I go to lunch at The Regency which is waspy and empty. Then I'm in Central Park and the Boat House is back open for lunch and I want to rent boats but the sun is setting and they’re closing down. I’m walking to the Central Park Zoo where they filmed the Woody Allen scenes and where I used to come only half as a joke for my half birthday when I was little and I want to see the polar bears mostly but it’s closed for the evening, too. Later, a stranger tells me the bench I'm in is a whispering tunnel and the stranger is right that if you sit on one side you can hear whispers from twenty feet away, and this is true even though it’s dusk and windy. Still a little tipsy, hailing a cab home. Making plans to go back uptown for a birthday party but then things go awry and so then Im staying home.
