Window Gazing
Dear Diary:
My daily workout for a while now has been a brisk three-mile walk around the Upper West Side at 7 a.m. . .
Some mornings there is a cat in one of the windows; at other times, I can see people moving around inside.
During the holidays, a Christmas tree had been put up in the apartment. I loved seeing it every morning as I passed by. One morning when I walked past and looked at the windows, I saw a man standing there.
He was waving at me.

Sledding
Dear Diary:
It was Dec. 16, 2020, and the biggest snowstorm in several years was beginning to blanket New York City. Our daughters were slightly upset because we did not own a sled.
My husband set out on foot to remedy the situation, but he soon came back empty-handed. . .
After making a couple of runs down the hill, my daughters went to return the sled.
Oh, you can keep it, the father said. I brought it here to give away.
