We move fast. We do a lot of things quickly, but in terms of boxes, trucks and leases - we move fast. None of that uncertainty crap, none of that drawn-out hemming and hawing. None of that patience. Virtues are for pansies.
Subwayed it to Brooklyn in the pouring rain Saturday morning and signed a lease. June 1 = we are residents of the city of Brooklyn in the state of New York. We're a block and a half from Prospect Park too, which is Brooklyn's Central Park. Even designed by the same man.
The Pluses:
- 3rd floor apartment means no more bars on the windows.
- this new place will also not be a dim, sunless cave.
- Brooklyn! Let the adventures begin...
- Park Slope has a lot more going on than downtown Jersey City.
- But I like Jersey City. I'm a little sad to leave it.
- Less closet space in the new place means heated bickering a la "you're never going to learn Arabic. Throw the book away - we don't have space for it!"
- No ceiling fans in the new place means the purchase of an air conditioner. Heat rises.
- Leaving Jersey for Brooklyn means less kitchen space.

OH MY GOSH! YOU'RE LIVING ON THE SET OF THE COSBY SHOW! Sorry, that's what that picture reminded me of. Tell Heathcliff Huxtable I say hello.
It's true! We are! Unfortunately, our apartment is about the size of Theo's bedroom.
