A plainclothes police sergeant fatally shot a 25-year-old man on Thursday morning outside the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square after confronting the man, who he believed had been a part of a scam to intimidate tourists into buying CDs, the authorities said. The slain man was armed with a loaded Mac-10 semiautomatic pistol and had fired first, the police said.

I've maybe read two books this year. I simply don't have time. I've listened to a number of audiobooks while commuting though. My reading time got replaced with writing time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I survived my first choir practice in 10 years, so that's good. But if I can't get my voice out of my throat, I will never hit those damn notes. I guess I need to practice...
