12/19 It’s again that time of the year when I take out large amounts of cash to put into the holiday gift envelopes for the building staff and parking garage staff. I am neither sure of the daily cash withdrawal limits nor of the names of the employees I’m giving some of the envelopes to, rather than throwing them into the big padlocked box where you never know what will happen to them. Also, tonight, the last night before we fly to Crete, there’s a Yeti-shaped homeless man in the ATM lobby of Chase down one block, he’s been there two hours ago and also now, standing menacingly behind the door, so I chose to rather not take out the remaining cash right now but sometime tomorrow during daylight.
