Well, I finally closed on the co-op. I am no longer a home owner, and have officially joined the ranks of the renters. It felt good to deposit that big fat check into my checking account though. In some ways I’m a little sad to see the place go. I really loved living there and […]

Moving in Retrospect.
With our move completed (with the exception of a few small items), its easy to look back in retrospect and see where my thinking and Rosies thinking weren’t on the same page. Since we have to move again in a few months, I figured we’d take some bare necessities to our temporary abode .. Bed, […]
