A new friend on Canal Street might be setting me up with some voiceover work. She is well-connected in the film and TV world, and said I have a beautiful voice. I acted coy, but, I know. It’s a bit of a gift, and I’ve fielded comments about it since puberty struck. But voiceover is a very cutthroat (irony) field.
I am happy to see where it goes but also happy to be here, right here, on this spot, at this shade of my life, right now.
Being in Chinatown reminded me to check on this immaculate beauty. This pagoda-topped booth is probably the last of its kind in NYC, a New England Telephone/NYNEX rig kept in almost museum-like pristine condition.
Made new friends on Canal Street today. Someone wants to get me voiceover work?

The phone number shown is, frustratingly, not listed on my website. It seems every single payphone number in sequence before and after this one is listed on my site. Not this one.
I discovered this booth completely unexpectedly last summer, in the company of a woman I dated for about 4 or 5 months in the emergingly permissive days of post-Covid dating. We had nothing in common but hello how we tried.
