I m not bragging, im merely suggesting that with every choice come the consequences. for example the two most exciting things to happen to me in the past two days involve fowl. Yesterday as i went to pump the excess water from the pool in anticipation of today's heavy precipitation, i had the crap scared out of me by a guinee hen lying in ambush behind my wood pile. Then today on the way into school i was held up in traffic by a turkey, really. And by the time the children arrived for school he was right outside the front door boasting with full plumage and distrupting the usual arrival procedures. So if you think you're ready to trade the hustle and or bustle of city life for ample parking and adventures involving fowl the burbs would love to have you. Gobble gobble, BJay p.s. stay tuned for plans this weekend, that is if you're not still skiing. Nav,

It's affectionately known as "Rape Alley", and can be easily identified by the old, long-haired homeless guy who can sometimes be seen doing handstand pushups against the side of the building. Your neighbor, Rich Rich,

It was in the year 2000, and that day, I had a day off (I think it was my only day off that year) and just wanted to stay in bed, but got up early for no other reason than to move the car to the other side of the street so I wouldn't get a ticket or get towed for blocking street cleaning, and over 2 hours later, having finally parked about 15 blocks away in Spanish Harlem, I stumbled back into my apartment cursing out loud and scaring people on the elevator. Still, you gotta love the excitement of the hunt for that perfect spot. Even now, at home I park on the street in the city of Pittsburgh, although for some reason there's almost always a spot, right in front of my apartment. Boring. Alas, those days will be officially over next week, when I move into my first ever house, with a 2-car integral garage. And in addition, what will I do with my ice scraper? Boring.
