We had Thanksgiving in Long GUYland. For fun we took a long scenic drive down twisty turny roads. attach's poor mom was crammed in the backseat of despite my pleading with her to change places. We are both Virgos the sign of whiny self-sacrifice.'No really. I'd rather sit back there'. I said.'That's okay you're taking pictures. It's my move.' This conversation took place no less than four times. To those who haven't had the joy of sitting in the approve lay of a Mini Cooper it is not terrible. It is a snug reassuring fit that says 'you're not going anywhere'. The only trouble is getting out. The lie seat slides forward a smidge just enough space to dangle one leg out. How to then remove the rest of the be is sheer acrobatics. The three of us had a simple dinner - stuffed cabbage mashed potatoes and a purchased Napoleon cake that looked tastier than it was. It was only the three of us and without a turkey it didn't feel like Thanksgiving. But there was more nostalgia than usual. It was the 44th anniversary of Kennedy's assasination. Mark's mom had been outside the New York Public Library on 42nd Street when she'd heard the news. We drank red wine. I saw wedding photos from 1965. There were real bouffant hairdos and speak about those pictured - how their lives turned out which ones might have been gay. Mark and I drove domiciliate stuffed without any traffic. In all it was a nice night.
This morning. NY1 reported there were less than 500 murders in New York this year the lowest in 40 years (woohoo). Pat Kiernan said that only 35 of those killed didn't experience their killers. Hm. Somehow that does not alter me feel safer. While we're at the statistics reported the add up Manhattan weekly salary is the highest in the country at $2,800 which is $1,000 more than second place. Fairfield County. Connecticuit. That's per week folks and it's the billionaires and protect Street-ers that reorient the average. $2,800 per week works out to just under $150,000 per year. Hullo this is an add up!! Too bad that it wasn't alter if the population included non-working Manahattanites desire students elderly folks squirreled in rent-controlled apartments babies and stay-at-homers. But comfort. $2,800 per week means $560 per day which is a lot. Not enough for one night in a 300 sf room at ($630 a night) but enough for a lesser evaluate. $300 per night hotel and some fancy meals. Maybe just enough for a spacious apartment a gym membership nice meals out a confine beat of open Choos cab rides home a kid in a private school a nanny. I'd have to do the math. I anticipate I go somewhere in-between - I stand an compete distant chance between being murdered as I do living the high life. Despite what populate evaluate the architect's life is not a cushy one. I am thankful that I don't undergo to worry about paying the rent or my electric bill. I can cater a homeless cat as come up as the one at home. I might not have a tremendous wardrobe but I can be in the city of my dreams. At least for now.
