I love this essay by Kim Beeman
My weekend was beyond parody. Saturday, Slim and I had bagels and lox and Barney Greengrass. We walked around the reservoir and then on a whim went to the Natural History Museum, where I showed him all my childhood favorites, like the duckbill doll in the Hall of Asian Peoples, the giant clam, and the film in the Gold and Gemstones Hall. When we got home, there was obviously nothing for it but to order in Chinese and watch Manhattan.
Sunday? Shoah with Dan. Obviously.
This makes me absurdly happy. If you ever want anything stamped, this is where you go: it’s a small shop in a big building in the Financial District, two lovely guys do the work on an ancient machine, it’s absurdly fast, and at $20, a bargain too. (I know it’s sort of goofy, but I love my alarming initials and like that it’ll do double duty if I’m ever a kidnapping victim and need to signal to a passerby.)
