An elusive second chance

I often enjoy listening to music and picturing the song as the backdrop of a scene in a movie of my life. Now playing: "The Way you Look Tonight" by John Coltrane, featuring Thelonius Monk. I picture myself on Michigan Avenue, wintertime, browsing the Christmas-themed windows of what used to be Marshall Fields. I hope it's not Christmas Story themed again this year. Or I see myself as Michelle Pfeifer in One Fine Day, running around with kids, flirting with a whimsical, younger George Clooney. Life's good, it's fun. I'm running late, there's a shortage of taxis, but damn it, in this moment, I'm Michelle Pfeifer, and life in the Big Apple's jazzy.
