Today, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City turns 134 years old.  The bridge opened in 1883 and connects Brooklyn and Manhattan.

I have no desire to walk or drive over any bridge anywhere except one.  One day, I’d very much  like to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.  While I could easily go give it a try, my prediction is I’d only make it a few steps onto the bridge.   Mentally, I’m just not there.

In the meantime, if you’re interested in learning about or visiting the bridge, here’s some reading for you.
