I’ve had a lot of fun outside this summer, both in the city and travelling. Here is the first in my series of close encounters with other creatures:
I was sitting on a bench in Washington Square Park in New York City, reading a novel, when a squirrel jumped on top of the bench about 3 feet away and started running straight at me; then stopped a few inches from me and stared; then ran off; did it again; ran off; did it again; ran off; did it again.
Several women caught my eye, and one said, "I guess he wants your attention." I agreed, and we all laughed, saying we’d never seen anything like it. It set the tone for the rest of the summer.
