Look Through Any Window
An Architectural Drabble
At 96 and 98 St. Mark's Place in the East Village neighbourhood of New York City are two buildings with many windows, some are open, some have their curtains drawn.
Some people want their privacy while others want to see those who are looking in on them.
Some like to show off their possessions, flaunting their acquisitions. They always leave their curtains open even at night, lighting their room to say,
"Look what I have"
Some like to shut their curtains, to separate themselves from the world outside.
This is what happens in almost every neighbourhood all over the world.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Pretty much true.
This seems fitting for New York, which we so often associate with noise and energy and life. It's an interesting thought Mike, how some people are happy for their rooms (or lives) to be on full display, and how others shut everyone out. Food for thought:)
In a few words this drabble is all about living our lives in our own ways. Good job,
Oh my, that's a crowded drabble and image
This reminds me of my street. Some neighbors flaunt their stuff with open curtains, while others prefer privacy with theirs drawn.
