Rumbles from a southbound train.

I’m on a cot in my brother’s Harlem apartment right now, thinking about the contents of the bag I lost 2 days ago.

Those contents include(d): 1 Laptop.  1 iPod.  1 Moleskine notebook filled with the sorts of drivel I’d never actually put on the web, but loved.  1 digital voice recorder.  1 passport.  1 checkbook. 1 pair of eyeglasses.  1 pair of sunglasses.  1 set of car keys.  5 magazines.  1 really nice packable rain shell.  1 copy of The Omnivore’s Dilemma. 1 tin of altoids.  1 container of cough drops.  3 pens, including my favorite one.

And I’m still breathing.  I even feel wierdly liberated.

For the moment.
