Look, I’m as guilty of this as anyone, I know that, I get that, I accept that. I’ve lived much of my life in and around New York. As a kid I rooted for some of its sports teams, rooted against some. As an adult I’ve been lucky to be in every building when it was at its loudest, felt them all shake and rattle with joy and anticipation (well, except MetLife; that one tends to be a mausoleum no matter if it’s frosted blue or green …)
…. ah, jeez, there he goes again. Sorry. Yes. It’s gotten to where I can’t go a single paragraph without lapsing into some kind of sky-is-falling narrative about just how bad things have been around here lately.
