NEW BLOG ON THE BLOCK: A YEAR IN THE PARK

What a great idea Crazy Stable has come up with. Her new blog is called Prospect: A Year in the Park. I am looking forward to reading!

Here’s the deal: I hereby commit to walking or cycling in Brooklyn’s magnificent Prospect Park every day for a year, with as few exceptions as humanly possible, and then showing or telling you at least one cool thing I encountered, through this new blog.

Yeah, so what’s the big deal? Lots of people go to the park every day, right? But I don’t. I look at it outside my windows, and then I slink around my big ol’ house, screen-suck at my computer for work or play, take naps, overeat, watch TV, garden, or chug around Brooklyn in the car doing errands. The few times I visit this pastoral treasure on my doorstep, I enter a sort of urban Narnia where just about anything can happen, even the lifting of anxiety and depression, my little demons. And I swear I will come more often (and, being already a bloggeuse, will tell the world of its wonders)–and then I skulk back inside, for more months of turpitude. An entire life could easily pass this way.
