Carl Schurz Park Christmas Tree Lighting and (I'm NOT making this up, you know) Ye Olde Annual Holiday Carol Sing Along.
Kids, strollers, dogs, Cantori New York, Orbital Brass, politicians, outdoor sound system—everything pointing toward disaster.
Still, it works.
Schurz Park means a lot to me. It's a place where Michael and I spent many a weekend walk. We watched the seasons turn (and turn and turn—well, you get my drift).
It's also a place Michael wanted to visit when he was very, very ill. We actually took a cab over (three blocks) walked around for ten or fifteen minutes, then took a cab home.
So, the tree lighting. Candles were lit. The politicians spoke. The brass played. The vocalists sang. The tree was lit—five-four-three-two-ONE!
Carols and holiday songs were sung.
I'll probably go next year, too.
