5.15.02 FOR SENTIMENTAL REASONS
The guy on the treadmill in front of me was muscle-bound, had a shaved head, and was wearing one of those tank tops with armholes cut down to his waist. He was reading “The Big Book of Torch Songs.”

5.14.02 WHAT IT TAKES
From the March New Yorker article, “The Riddler” about a crossword puzzle competition. I love these people:
As referees brought in completed puzzles, Rosen and the other twenty or so officials scored the answers, pausing only to ridicule the occasional hapless entry.
“Who writes ’skua’ with a ‘q’?”
“Eriq La Salle!”
“Wasn�t he just on the over of GQ?”
“You mean GK?”

THE F-LINE
The Muni line that runs up Market gets a lot of tourists. The trains are vintage Italian streetcars, they’re electric and run on tracks. Today, there are two trains on the same track. A tourist approaches the one in the rear and asks the driver, “Which train leaves first?” He blinks at her, then at the train in front of him. “This one,” he replies. She climbs aboard.
