An update, finally. I am now living in NYC. Been here a couple months. So far, so good. In the last 6 months I've lived in Southern California, Chicago and NYC. It's looking like I am going to settle in here. I have a great pad in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area with one roommate who must have taken a class in roommate etiquette, even though he does seem to always come home with friends when I am lounging in my underwear while watching the tube. I'm not the type to run for cover, so I often find myself trying to act nonchalant while having conversations with strangers who are fully clothed and trying not to look at my underwear. I'm active and am looking forward to participating in a few team sports this summer. I hear there is a killer kickball league for adults at McCarren ((sp?) Park? NYC is the greatest. I haven't played kickball since the 6th grade. In short, life is sweet right now. If you want in on the magic, send a note.
