EYE CATCHING

Some days, I feel like the sum of dismembered parts.  This must be how a kaleidoscope feels -- broken into sections, each one similar to the other, but going in diametrically opposite directions.  I'm sure you all know how it feels to be overcommitted with projects, social obligations, and travel plans.

Time to focus and have my eye on one thing only.

So this morning, I hoisted my beat-up Tumi luggage from storage, ready to fill for my upcoming trip to the Big Apple mid-week.  Suddenly, it brought to mind the most eye-catching luggage I had ever seen.  This photo was from my last trip to NYC in July.  I had just arrived at the Ace Hotel, straight from the San Francisco red-eye.  As I was walking in, this piece of luggage was rolling out.

Normally, I'm not into Pop Art.  But seen on this unexpected canvas, I thought it was pretty cool!

It belonged to this very nice, young fashion designer waiting for a cab outside the hotel.  He thought he looked too terrible for a photograph, but I thought he was as eye-catching as his luggage.

I have unfortunately lost his name, which I scribbled down on a piece of scrap paper from my purse.  Hopefully, he is out there somewhere, and perhaps we will catch each other's eyes again this week in NYC.
