Nice Scarf

Dear Diary:

It was a blustery September evening. I was keeping my face down to avoid the wind as I walked home from the gym.

Lifting my head briefly when I crossed the street near Washington Square Park, I noticed a man in front of me who seemed to be wearing a very chunky scarf.

Then I did a double take. The scarf was actually an enormous iguana perched backward on the man’s left shoulder. Its beady eyes watched as I fumbled to take a picture with my phone.

When I had captured the image, I looked around and saw a man holding his phone up surreptitiously. He flashed me a grin.
