On the other side
Wow, is it the 25th already?
I’ll write about the Big Move in more detail later, but have some impressions:
* be careful about living facing the street. I am right around the corner from Amsterdam, which is very active at night. 3 am. Loud People Going Home.
* we’ve been able to move into an empty shell of an apartment, and get mostly set up in a week. Stores. Whirlwind. Deliveries. Signing things.
* I like being close to the subway, and Zabars, and half a million cafes, bagel places, bodegas, and so on.
* we’re tough. We have spent the last 9 days without air conditioning. Our noisy fans rearrange the hot air in the room, but it doesn’t fool a thermometer. The Beast of an air conditioner (’B’ sleeve, not one of the ubiquitous window units) gets installed today. Mental note: never get another apartment without checking the AC situation first.
* Go see the movie Napolean Dynamite!
