    Every once and a while I have a moment of clarity and everything just feels o.k. Right now, I am sitting on the floor of our new and very empty apartment. I am staring up at the blue sky from the dining room floor. Toby is across from me leaning against the wall. He is…

    I’d like to sincerely thank everyone for the feedback yesterday on here and via email regarding our apartment search. After a lot of talk and then a little pressure from one of the folks we seek to rent from, we have decided to go with the first apartment. We took the one a wee bit…

    Yesterday, I spent the morning cleaning my brother’s kitchen and bathroom. Why, you might ask? Because the Monica in me is fierce. (Yes, I did just make a Friends’ reference but it goes with the theme of the post. Sort of.) Plus, I was bored and for some reason the Internet stopped working and my…

    I’m not sure what life was like before wireless internet. Now, you can sit in a middle eastern cafe on the corner of Bedford and North 7th and use “Morty’s” wireless internet connection. Which I probably shouldn’t be advertising on the Internet as I imagine the more people who know about my covert operation, the…

    I’m pretty sure that we were Punk’d yesterday. We had an appointment with a woman at noon to see three apartments in Brooklyn. We met her at her office, filled out some paperwork and then headed off with her and a “coworker” in her car. She was a small asian woman. And, forgive me for…

    Toby and I arrived in New York on Sunday evening. We stayed in State College for a few more days to unwind and relax a bit. Toby starts his job on Wednesday. Yesterday, we spent the better part of the day running from one Brooklyn area to another Brooklyn looking at apartments. There were two…

    I worked at Ye Old College Diner in State College, Pennsylvania for over 8 years. I was a waitress. Occasionally, I was a cashier, too. I loved working at The Diner. I met some amazing people. I learned how to play poker, smoke cigars, fight with unruly customers, and threaten intoxicated frat boys. I learned…

    It’s 6:39 p.m. on Thursday. We’re in Indianapolis. I find it hard to believe that yesterday we were in New Mexico. Retrospective thoughts such as this make this country seem small. But when you’re moving alone Route 40, along the northern chimney-like top of Texas and you’re taunted by horizon more distant and seemingly unattainable…

    It’s nearly 10 a.m. PST and TobyJoe and I are waiting for Door to Door to drop off two blue bins. I’m currently using someone else’s wireless connection to write this. At any point I could lose it all. But that’s o.k. Today, we’re loading the blue bins. And tomorrow we set sail. After studying…

    About a month ago, I returned from a month-long trip to Washington, D.C. While I was there I worked at a local design firm doing work for the DNC. I had the most excellent time. I made money, got my yearly dose of the northeastern fall, and I caught up with the friends I have…
