The time Rob and I went to a bar on "the west side," adjacent to or part of Hell’s Kitchen—a place called Roberts. We took a table. At some point there was a man at the crowded bar standing up, raising his beer mug, making pronouncements. He did it periodically for awhile. His beer rising into visibility among those standing around him.

We could see his hair and his arm, but not much of the rest of him. He was mostly a voice. And the center of attention. It made you want to see him better.

The crowd seemed both merry and serious. I suppose the topic was politics, but maybe the old days, or sports, or anything. But it had some quality of a scene from the movies. The man making the pronouncements even looked like an actor, in the couple of glimpses we got. And then, when the crowd briefly parted, like a curtain, we saw that it was an actor. It was Ed Harris. In a baseball cap, as I remember. A star on the ground, but still a star. Bringing something to the everyday that was special enough we felt it from a distance. *\~ April 23, 2021*
