One Monday in late Februarythe couple staged a New York version of the Day of Slow Living. It has to be a Mondaythe worst day to try to slow down. Bruno explained.Bruno was wearing a police capmirrored sunglassesand a sandwich board stating, CautionSpeed­walking camera is in action” He flagged down passers­by and handed them postcards printed with fourteen “slowmandments”For exampleNo.4Write your text message on your cellphone with no symbols and get in the habit of starting with “Dear... ”No.7Avoid being so busy that you don't have time for yourself.Bruno told the passers­by to read them once a day and keep the doctor away.

Many said, I can't do this.New York is too fast. Bruno admitted.But many stoppedthey read and said. This one is good for mebecause trying to slow down is like trying to stop smoking.”
