DAY TWENTY-NINE: EXTENDED TOUR IN NEW YORK II
Five apartments seen in one day! Ranging from depressing to maybe-I-should-take-this, from a nuts-o Puerto Rican woman to sweet-as-pie German brothers. I walk a lot and meet several neighborhoods in Queens & Brooklyn. Everything seems possible and impossible. I think of the "Kim Possible" cartoon my nephews watch, and the play on words seems appropriate. That and her pet naked mole rat, Rufus.
Otherwise I'm on the computer, drooling slightly.
Andrea paints, preparing for a November show in Kentucky, then leaves to teach. We have dinner at home with beer and creative things from the fridge. After seeing the 5th apartment, Andrea and I get Carvel ice cream and its sweetness is almost too much to bear. My fellow SF transplants, Theresa and Liam, want us to jump on a slightly-too-expensive apartment in Bed-Stuy and I just don't know.
