Naked on a subway
So there were people around the United States riding subways wearing only their underwear yesterday. One of the goals of the 3-hour underpants adventure, according to the organizer who was interviewed in The Boston Globe? "To give people something to talk about."
Are our lives so vacuous that we need to be inspired by people in underwear on public transportation in order to find something to talk about with one another?
"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit, and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these."
--Susan B. Anthony
