I'm sorry for the blogging hiatus. Certain things just have to take precedence over the blog. Curtains, for instance. Now that they're up ("the neighbors must be relieved," says my brother), I can return to the blog.

Here are some observations from my short time in New York, in classic html bullet list format...

• It's much sunnier in New York. In Pittsburgh during the winter, we're lucky to see 1 sunny day per week. In New York so far, we've gotten 5 sunny days per week. I've had to learn how to wear sunglasses with my wool hat.
• Yes, apartments are as small and as expensive here as all the rumors claim. However, it seems they're generally kept in much better condition, if you don't mind the occasional toilet-in-the-kitchen floor plan.
• Brooklyn is the new Manhattan. Manhattan is the new Disneyworld. Queens is still Queens.
• Movers are really amazing at what they do. A couch that took us an hour to move into my old apartment was taken out in seconds. South Hills totally came through for us.
• Don't make eye contact on the subway. Unless you want a new friend, that is.
