I take way too many Uber rides. This was my thought as I hopped out of the car, a ford I think, and smelled a hint of smoke and the cold of fall in the night around me. As I unlocked the door to my building I thought about how warm my new-ish sweater is and how much I love the new boots on my feet. I bought the boots after buying a pair for my little brother, slogging out early early adulthood in New York – one for you, one for me. I rarely shop so when I wear the new stuff I like to cherish it. Anyway it was just one of those moments tonight where the cool air and the smell of the leaves made me feel alive and happy to be here. Too many Uber rides or not.
