The Daily Rant: The Whole World

The Whole World

Today Ed and I spent the day in New York City. I took this shot at the corner of Christopher Street and Leroy Street in the West Village.

Since it was Mother's Day, seeing these words on the side of this building just reinforced what I already think about my own mother - she's the whole world to me. Happy Mother's Day Mommy!
