The Happy Birthday Murder (2015)
“Depending on when you go, the traffic may be fairly light or so heavy you wish you hadn’t started out. The worst thing about it is parking. When I was newly released from my vows and I drove into the city for the first time, alone at the wheel, I was stunned at the cost of parking. That was about six years ago and it has gotten worse. Jack tells me not to worry about it, that I do it so seldom that it doesn’t make a difference, but paying over twenty dollars for the privilege of getting out of my car and getting somewhere on foot still gives me palpitations.
There had been some back-and-forth between Joseph and me, and between Arnold and me, everybody arguing about where to eat and each one insisting on paying. I had made up my mind to pick up the bill myself and pay with my one credit card, courtesy of my husband, who insisted I carry it. The restaurant was far enough east that I was able to park at a lower rate. One of the things you learn as an out-of-town driver is that the closer... you are to Fifth Avenue, the spiritual and financial main artery of the city, the more it costs to park.MoreLess
