hold on
Thursday night, January 28th, 9:34 PM
JoAnne enters laundromat wearing Concordia sweatshirt, puffy vest, red pajama pants with penguins, boots with the fur. Disheveled hair, wet from the shower. Says excuse me to the brotha with Spike Lee glasses unloading the dryer below hers. He is chatting with his friend, a thuggy lookin’ dude (in the stylish way, not the offensive way).
Spike Lee starts singing seminal Phil Collins classic, In the Air Tonight: “I can feel it, calllllliiiinnnn in the airrrr toniiiigggggiiiyyyyttt”
to which thug goes: “Hooooooollldd ooonnn”
Spike Lee: “I beeeennnn waitin for this moment for all my lllliiiffffeee”
(pregnant pause)
JoAnne looks over and, with a solid what’s up head nod, delivers a mezzo piano “Hoooolldddd onnnn”.
Spike Lee: “I KNEW she’d do it! I KNEW IT!”
The thug and the brotha continue talking amongst themselves, texting, etc…JoAnne continues to fold socks, surreptitiously trying to hide embarrasing undies.
Suddenly, Spike Lee disappears and rounds the cement corner adeptly, as he is a little dude. He returns in a metal laundry basket on wheels, sitting in it, inching himself forward using the lithe momentum of his body. He rolls over to JoAnne and, in one swift movement, sticks his iPhone in the air, triumphantly.
It is playing a YouTube Video of Phil Collins singing In the Air Tonight.
JoAnne giggles and commends her new friends with a “Well played!” and a fist bump and feels that sometimes its hard living in this city and things change and shes struggling, but THIS, THESE MOMENTS are why she’s happy here.

Advent Calendar?
It doesn’t feel like Christmas. For the first time, I don’t care about Mariah Carey’s “Merry Christmas” album. I don’t care about snow. I don’t care about carols. I’m generally mad at Christmas this year. I am just. not. in. the. mood. And I probably won’t until I get home on the 23rd. Therefore, in celebration of my “Bah Humbugness” – I will post a song each day. The song will feature sleigh bells in a non-Holiday setting.
16 DAYS UNTIL HOME:
