Manhattan, New York, USA

This morning, as I left my apartment in Brooklyn to go to the Upper East Side, the streets in both neighborhoods were nearly deserted. With the ground still wet from the wintery mix the night before, I was transported back to the days after Hurricane Sandy; I guess the storm affected me more than I thought.

From All Souls Christmas Dinner

I went in to join some of the young adults and many of my other friends from All Souls Church who don’t have family in town to celebrate Christmas with. There was an enormous spread of delicious food, good company, Santa Claus, caroling and plenty of good cheer!
