A Very Special Pavement-Special
I recently came across New York Magazine’s July cover story about how competitively difficult it was to adopt a dog during the pandemic.

When you feel that plummeting exhaustion, plan a trip to New York City and hope the change of scenery will dispel the disquietude that clenches in your body. Blame the isolation of the pandemic for the heightening sense of anxiety that is advancing on you as insidiously as middle age. Convince yourself that Covid is an acceptable excuse, a blanket defense, then recognize that this is specious reasoning but concede anyway because it’s easier than frisking the fringes of your psyche for some other plausible cause. Ignore, with an olympic strength, the idea that some ruinous neurosis is lurking behind your fear.
