Sweat & (Outside of) the City

The ultimate car driver has RETURNED from the big city to a delightful land where she can tool around in Flanders, the 2004 Civic. That's right, I'm on Long Island.

Title Me This

i've picked a new template
not sure if i'm feeling it

so i've hit my 3-month mark here in the city
i don't feel like one of those people
who arrrives here and thinks
"YES! My life has now begun!
I will know nothing other than this grand city"
indeed, perhaps the opposite
i feel like i know this is truly only a stage
i'm not long for this urban world
actually, that's not true
i think i'd like to live in other great american cities
i know that i don't want a mcmansion
so i'm not going all suburban
but i do think that a city like seattle or san diego
is more my speed
it's city living, but i can drive a damn car
gosh, isn't that sad how i miss driving?
frankly, it just makes life easier

and i'd just like to say
"hello fall, it's about damn time you showed up!"
yes, i've put the capri pants away
and for the 2nd day in a row
i haven't worn flip flops
it's been gray and sorta chilly
i just love it
(again, why did i leave seattle?)

but one of the bestest things about living
in the world's number 1 city
(if you want to be ethnocentric about it)
is that every musical act known to man comes thru town
i saw the john mayer trio last week
and it was really damn good
i wasn't excited at all
it's JM's side project, blues-focused group
but i liked it a ton
the best part was that he looked like
he was having the time of his life
i love watching musicians who are in a groove
who aren't going thru the motions

i tried to get u2 tix
but apparently scalpers are more deserving than i am
there is a special place in hell
for the bastards who buy tickets
and jack up prices via the internet

but now i will go to sleep

WAIT!
this weekend is a grand jersey adventure with shimpy
bring on the malls!

    Wow, I can't believe it's been only 3 months since you moved here... it seems like 3 years since we started RHD training.

    I second Anthony's comment and add the following...

    I really find it comical how many groupies you have out here in Seattle. The sheer number of people who check your blog obsessively (and do a little happy dance when they find out you have a new post) could be concerning. Maybe we should all start a cult in your honor. That could be pretty rad.

    Don't fret about moving to New York. It is such a fun place to come and visit and I have plans brewing for another trip out there. You can look forward to dinner on me as long as we don't go to the crappy place at the Seaport that didn't want our service.

    Love you and miss you as always.

    The baby in the pic is Jessie's baby. She's very cute. Little T adores her.

    I like your new look. Highly readable. :)
