To amuse myself at the Wollman Rink on Saturday–I was finding skating a little painful–I asked a man who worked there if anyone had ever fallen through. He had no idea I was just kidding and answered very earnestly that the rink was only 2 inches deep, not a swimming pool in fact. Just in case you were wondering...No one had the notion to try to skate on the lake although I suspect most who gazed at it thought about it. I saw what looked like a key chain on the ice and imagined someone had thrown someone's car keys out there. Keys on ice, what a prank.

And it was perfect ice, apart from being thin. A couple of weeks of deep freeze and that ice would have been Platonic.
