Liked the Williamsburg story, ENY. Always hard to remember (for me at least) how much places changed. I am often very surprised by some of the gentrification patterns in my home city.
I have lived in NYC long enough to see some areas that were already gentrifying go hyperbolic, but not long enough to see complete turnarounds.
I wrote three limericks in my head between toweling off and dressing mornng. One was about you, rob. Here it is:
There once was this butterfly named Rob
Who liked to shock people on blogs
He gets home by 5:40
and looks for a forty
That’s two forties! That’ll do the job.
people should be able to retire and collect social security at any age over 30. i would love to be able to retire now and qualify to live in the projects.
– ride a racing bike
– go fast
– sit up on the bikes
– have the coordination to look around and see what is happening without falling off the bike.
– signal
– wear a helmet
Hmmm, have to consider ‘dishonesty is the best policy’ now
The thing in life is, when you make a list of pros and cons about choices and decide on whatever way the balance is greater, when looking back regret is impossible. I once did that very thing, it was a distaster, but I feel zero pang of regret because at the time, it was what I wanted to do, and all signs pointed to yes.
Recently read a quote from the third, left-behind founder of Apple saying that very thing.
