I love this song, although, reading the lyrics, I realized I had no clue what the hell it's about! Abortion, maybe? Definitely a suicide in there. THE VERVE PIPE The Freshmen When I was young I knew everything She a punk who rarely ever took advice Now I'm guilt stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice I can't be held responsible 'Cause she was touching her face I won't be held responsible She fell in love in the first place For the life of me I cannot remember What…

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. Henry David Thoreau Father's Day was surely the best yet. The fact that we were busy all day unpacking and shopping (after spending all day Saturday moving our clothes and miscellaneous stuff) and didn't get to bed until midnight was actually the best part of it. I didn't even blink at how much money we spent at Pathmark. That's how much I love this apartment and am relieved to finally be back in our…

Today is the the first anniversary of my official appointment as a financial advisor with American Express. What a difference a year makes! Swung by the office on Saturday night while we were in Virginia, fully expecting to see at least one poor soul still working but, to my surprise, everyone was gone. They finally disabled my access to the Market Group web site so I can't check who's still there and how everyone's doing any more. The only two people I'm still in touch with left before me and moved out of the area. Guess that chapter is now…

We've said it before but I really think THIS TIME, we've found a place we'll be staying in for a while. Stopped in on Saturday to take measurements and they were almost finished with everything. The master bedroom and living room are bigger than we've ever had, plus the separate dining room is a nice extra. Hardwood floors throughout, lots of closet space, lots of sunlight. Going to paint on Friday, head down to VA to get our stuff out of storage over the weekend and move in on Monday morning. Can't wait! If there's any store that I should…

I love New York. Now, more than ever. Really. It's more than just some marketing slogan for me. The good, bad and ugly; I can't imagine living anywhere else. Went for a walk at lunch today, up Water Street to the South Street Seaport, walked the pier, then went across on Fulton Street to Nassau Street and headed back south to the office. The weather outside is beautiful - finally! - not too warm, nice and breezy. The Seaport was bustling with NYers and tourists alike. I picked up a Mango Italian Ice for a little childhood flashback. (Only partial,…

Been busy actually working today, forgot how much time I'd been wasting on personal stuff the past few weeks! Tonight's the Pepátian: Jump It Up reading in the Bronx and I'm really looking forward to it. There's apparently 14 different artists on the bill and I've got 7 minutes to perform! What do you read for 7 minutes, especially when you're in the midst of a bunch of poets, singers and dancers?!?! It's a showcase for Bronx Artists so it's a no-brainer that I'll read one of my Bronx poems. Which one, though? And what else with it? Can really…
