To me, the Ansonia epitomized the decline of NYC in the 1970's ... The scenes for The Sunshine Boys that were shot there showed it at its worst. It has gotten better since then. You're right, it is a huge building. I am glad that it has not been torn down and replaced with the anonymous glass and steel condo buildings that have been going up all around Manhattan of late.

The reference to Hotel Ansonia is freaky to me. I spent two days in that building this last week taking care of a small bit of remodel work that I spent months doing years ago. It is a huge and cavernous place. It will always be catching up to itself.

No, I meant a poke in a good way! I like to hear other writers talk about writing, it reminds me of what I need to be doing. I read that interview and realized that writer's ideas about writing were similar to my own. Except, I don't write nearly enough. I tend to get distracted writing only the haikus. I have too many other projects that I'm 'working on' that are not moving quickly enough towards completion.

But I appreciate the compliment. :-)

Not a poke at all! I love

Thanks MM. Great interview. I was expecting just the part you mentioned and discovered it was also a friendly poke in the ribs for my writing ambitions.

Love your Haiku about the recorded music. Was just reading this interview with William Gibson where he talks about the complete lack of recorded music in the world as recently as the time of his grandfather. A bit of synchronicity.
