getting up early

not something i'm very good at usually. understandable given that i wasn't home until 4 am last night, and that's a regular occurence these days. both this thursday and friday i'll be there again.

it's worth getting up early just for the light, which illuminates the brownstones with a soft wash of light, more subtle than the glowing parisian dusk. even the monolith of long island college hospital seems peaceful. ellis island glimmers across the harbor, the wizened domes rising from the white-capped waters. even the undertaker had a smile on this morning.

on too few hours of sleep, i headed to brooklyn montessori to talk about markets in uganda.


not my best performance with a class full of unruly kids, but we had fun.

i haven't had the most productive day since. mostly i've just watched planet earth. did i mention it's the best thing on television?
