My commute this morning was terrible. Living way out at the end of Queens we tend to rely on the Bus and the LIRR to get in and out of Manhattan. Since changing my job and going to midtown, I’ve started taking the express bus to work again. I had to leave a bit early […]

I’ve been preparing for my new job and the logistics of leaving Wall Street for the mean streets of midtown changes a few things for me.  For one thing, I had to leave Gleason’s Gym.  I’m a little sad about this, but there’s no way I’d be able to work out and get to work […]

Well, as you know, I’ve been looking for a new gig. After a few weeks of working with recruiters and a few hot days spent in a business suit, I have accepted a new offer. It came down to four jobs at three investment banks, but I think I made the right decision. It’s a […]

Happy belated July 4th. Rosie and I went up to my sister’s place yesterday. Larry cooked WAY to much (not that I’m complaining). Needless to say, we were stuffed to capacity. Some of Lynn and Larries friends were there also. After we ate, Rosie and I took a walk down to the Long Island Sound. […]
