Comments after I walk to work…and get coffee.A few months ago, my friend Jan moved out to Carroll Gardens in Brooklyn and before last night I had not had a chance to visit him. After work yesterday I rode there on the F train to join him and friends for a Christmas party at Sparky’s a bar known for dogs and darts. The houses of Brooklyn wear the snow better than the towers of Manhattan and on this night Carroll Gardens was freshly covered. Mostly of Italian Catholic descent, many of its residents have adorned their lawns with a statue of the Virgin Mary. Today’s pic is the best of the Mary shots I got between the bar and the subway with a group shot thrown in for good measure.
I’m almost done with Tom Jones, and I wanted to share my favorite paragraph from the chapter I’m currently on:
There are a set of religious, or rather moral writers, who teach that virtue is the certain road to happiness, and vice to misery, in this world. A very wholesome and comfortable doctrine, and to which we have but one objection, namely, that it is not true.
