Last week, I saw the end of civilization. Turning the corner of Dodge from Low Steps to 116th and Broadway, I saw a man trudging down College Walk with the familiar stooped gait of someone sending a text message. This guy was enthralled by that even rarer breed, the iPad. I watched him proceed, eyes still fixed on the flashing screen, and walk at full pace into a row of passersby. Not pretty. It was a sad footnote in the history of supposedly connective technologies, but more than that, the man and his iPad were the latest casualties in what I like to call the Postmodern Clusterfuck.

Seeing God in the summer

I thought about it, and prayed about it for a while, and I felt overwhelmingly that I was supposed to stay in New York this summer. So, without first securing a place to stay, I shot off an email to my employer announcing that I had decided to accept the position despite the fact that I had no idea how I planned to support myself.
