[Pink Pig Time Machine by Wilfrid: December 27, 2010]
Christmas Day and a trek up to Jimmy's Corner which has a tradition of opening briefly on Christmas morning for regulars to toast the season. The rest of the day spent in laziness.
My present to myself, a box-set of Presley's 1970s recordings. I settled down to this with a plate of sausage rolls. Dinner was a lighter affair than the Christmas Eve réveillons, and I watched La Dolce Vita to send me to sleep.
I took Tuesday off. Being British, I call December 26 Boxing Day and regard it as an inviolable holiday. No snow ten years ago, so I hiked down through the Lower east Side and back up through what was still then called Alphabet City. An evening spent with books - mainly Stephen Crane - and left-overs.
Then back to work, with side-trips to Paul Stuart's winter sale. Next week... yes, snow. And Veritas.
