Dear Jens,
I’ve long thought of myself as suffering from the Manhattan Paradox, as I call it. That’s wanting to get away as long as I’m in Manhattan and missing it terribly the moment I’m gone. Hence, your photo touches a nerve. I’m spending the holidays with family in Europe, in between conference travels. Perhaps the answer is: crossing the bridge is worth it, if only because it gives you the chance to return.
Send me more photos, will you?
