night driving

I'm in New York City and right now all I really care about is the radiator behind me. I love radiators. It feels so nice to have heat gently reaching out to me, rather than blowing in my face like a desert wind. We got to New York at 6:30 this morning, got here after thirteen hours of driving. It felt like we were lost in a world of eternal night. The New York skyline spread out across our sky at 6:00 like a city out of a myth or fairy tale. It was amazing. Everything is so peaceful at night. We got here a slept for a few hours then got up and ate and went to see the town. I ate salmon and creamcheese on a bagel for breakfast. It was so good. Excuse me while I melt back into the radiator now.

woohoo! Glad you arrived safely. Willy is enjoying the nights on the town here, too! Andrew is mighty glad to have him here. He talked non-stop from the airport. Cold and crisp here. Ah, melt back into that radiator...

Linnea, that was beautiful. I could feel the gentle but inexorable radiance easing the tenseness of interminable night through your words.
