Like we used to do

It’s not a flippant thought, really; I do find Burt coming with me, tagging along as I wander the city.

Some places bring me memories of us. Some are new to me and I feel like we are exploring. Like we used to do.

It’s pleasing to imagine, for instance, that I am introducing Burt to the dance parade on lower 6th Avenue. Neither of us had seen this before.

And then to see how a familiar area of NYC has changed from what Burt and I would recognize.
