Welcome to my blog! Like most times I try and write diaries, emails and all things which require words on paper, I get really in to it for about a day and then I lose interest... this time I hope it will be different...

You can help by leaving me comments on things I write.. If I know you've been reading that will give me motivation to keep writing :)Not sure what it will say, thoughts of the moment, things I've been doing perhaps, but most of all its my life in New York, my NY second, so hop on board for the ride :)

Only in New York

...just a few things that I notice that I thought I would share... should have started this months ago...

Only in New York...

8. are the buildings so old that when you stand up from your desk at work your chair rolls to the opposite side of the room.
7. the fact that a tv show / movie is filming on your block is ordinary. The day that they are not there is out of the ordinary.
6. apartment buildings only stay standing because they are connected to one another
5. pumpkins and turkeys take priority over christmas trees
4. do they not put margarine on your sandwich as default, but will happily put a stack of 8 slices of cheese, or turkey as thick as a sausage on your roll.
3. does it takes 5 fire engines and 4 ambulances to get a cat out of a tree.
2. do they put garden chairs on median strips... just in case you want to watch the traffic fly by... I think its because there are no parks or green areas to put them in.
1. sultana does not exist in their vocabulary.

great start i think.
