top of the world

The observation roof at the top of 30 Rockefeller Plaza - where I spend my weekends as a corporate drone - will soon reopen. When it closed in 1986, it was NYC's third highest observatory. Now it will be the second.

Here's what visitors to the deck will see...

...and here's a really good story about it by David Dunlap, who writes about the physical city for the New York Times. I enjoy his writing.

On the weekends, I am a word-processor in a corporate law firm. It's the work that supports my writing and my activism.

It's decent work - skilled, well paid, and I don't hate it - so I use the word "drone" facetiously. But 24 hrs/wk, I am a cog in a big, evil corporate wheel.

Why bolt? Do you mean why move to Canada? To that I can only say, go back and read the archives...

If that's not your question, ask again?
