Friday mornings are for gangstas... especially when you spend them with two fly Sconnies like my sister Colleen and her husband Gianni. I picked them up from Laguardia last night, and as we drove down the BQE through Queens and then down into Bed-Stuy, I had a warm fuzzy family feeling. It felt quite vibrant. Like a vibrant thing.

I'm always given a new perspective on the city when people come to visit. I look at the buildings from a slightly different angle than I do when I'm alone. I go on boats, to look at them from water, I climb to the top of them to see others from above, I appreciate them from an outsider's vantage. This is the song that I played on Christmas Eve for Coco & G, giving it to them as a hint of what was to come. And as we wave "one hand in the air for the big city" today, we'll likely also be singing this.
