    Last night, after dropping 128 dollars at our local Key Food, Gerry called to see if we wanted to have dinner. Even though the move has all but drained our bank accounts and we’re trying to be as frugal as possible, we agreed because we enjoy Gerry’s company and I wanted fish. Gerry took us…

    Toby and I have used Comcast for the past two years. It’s great, you can get digital cable and internet access for the low, low price of 120 bucks a month. (Yes, I realize that’s kinda pricey, but oh well.) However, here in Brooklyn, Comcast is not an option. Which is too bad, because I…

    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…

    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…

    Toby hasn’t been feeling well lately so yesterday he stayed home from school and I made him tea. It was nice having him around all day. Towards the end of the day, Dee wrote me and reminded me about a rock ‘n roll show we had discussed attending. And since Toby didn’t feel well, I…

    Last night something exploded behind Soung and David’s house at around 12:45 a.m. I heard the sound through my toothbrushing and thought that it was a door slamming and someone had just entered through the back door. I knew Soung was out of town. And David was working for another hour. The dogs were barking,…

    Toby and I got up at 4:30 this morning so I might drop him off for a 6:45 a.m. flight back to San Francisco. It’s now 8:30 a.m. and I am dead-tired. Already. And the work-day has only just begun. Overall, it was a great weekend. It was nice to spend some time with Toby…

    Yesterday, after receiving excellent news from Toby, I decided that it might be a good time to have him treat me to a course at San Francisco State University. So I made a few phone calls and I await to hear if I’m to be accepted into this course. I have wanted to take glass…

    I was tidying up my server the other day and found a story I wrote many years ago (I think three). It was in Quark, just sitting there. This was partially responsible for my having started this Web site. Toby said, “You should start a Web site and talk your nonsense and put up pictures…
