Hung upDear Diary:Last summer I expected a friend to visit me on my fourth floor walk-up in Manhattan. Unfortunately, the package in all its full-leaf glory has become entangled in the branch of a tree. My friend, Jocelyn, asked two women walking by to help untie the package. The three of them grabbed the trunk and tried to shake it, but the tree wouldn’t move. One of the women took off one of her new white sneakers and threw it several times at the package.
