Dear Diary:
I was walking up Lexington Avenue the other day around 11 a.m., when just behind the Armory I looked up and noticed some bulbs were missing from the Walk/Don’t Walk sign, making it look like a hand signal from Mr. Spock.
“Live long and prosper,†I said to myself out loud.
Two much younger (and obviously “hipperâ€) women walking next to me heard me and they looked up at the sign.
“Rock on,†they each said.
À chacun son goût, to each his own, or maybe it’s just a generational thing.
