My Sally Brompton Horoscope: It is so Me

You appear to be doing very well for yourself at the moment but, in true Cancerian fashion, you are already beginning to worry that what you have gained will somehow be taken away from you. Remember: your thoughts create your reality, so if you think like that it is more likely to happen.

I was kidnapped while putting this up last night and forced to go to the Boat Basin Cafe in Riverside Park. The people looked as if they came from central casting, any and all variations of 20 and 30somethings who reside and/or work in Manhattan. It looked like a TV studio for an end of the year special involving every show.

I pointed this out to Lucia and Rafe and we spent some minutes watching. We didn’t exactly envy them. But we knew each other then and all thought those days would go on forever.

It was hard envisioning turning 40, let alone the new 30. I think it’s normal to worship youth. Everything and anything can happen. That said I think it distinctly not normal to worship the current set of pop stars. The few with true talent yes, but they ain’t worth our time and the amount of time spent talking about them.

It used to be easy to know where the people who went to The Boat Basin where from. About a decade ago it was the Upper West Side’s secret club. It’s not a secret anymore, but the inside of the coliseum type space is cavernous

I forgot my camera but will take some pictures and you can see if I’m really the only photographer to regress.

Because I was so rudely kidnapped by two so not 20 or 30somethings, I couldn’t write the post.

Some people make a big deal out of not believing in Sally Brompton. Others call her the witch as she is so damn accurate.

Before The Post was free online, it was worth the 25 cents just to read the horoscopes. My mother who forced my father to stop exploring psychic phenomena because she was a bit scared and more unwilling to believe in anything that couldn’t be quantified, and yes my Dad was the CPA, would have me read her hers.

I would read it to her on the bus going from Riverdale where I was working to Manhattan as I had moved back. Sally Brompton became a bonding ritual when my Mom and I were at a loss. We had always been so close, and her increasing blindness and frailness made it difficult

i put that horoscope up because it so scarily describes me, and must remember that I’m working towards a goal not from it.
