We’ve only been living in Brooklyn for a month now, but the whole time I’ve been dying to get a bike to cruise around on. The neighborhood is a bit more dispersed than the West Village and there are a ton of bike lanes to travel on. I’ve been scouring Craigslist and the Flea and finally came across this beauty the other night. It is a 1962 Raleigh Sports 3-speed with a Brooks saddle. It is in great condition and actually tall enough for me (that has been my biggest challenge). Picked it up last night. Perfect. See you on the road…

By chance I decided to get up early and take Brüno for a walk down along the Hudson. So glad that I did. I was unaware of this morning’s events, so it was a surprise to me when I saw a swarm of choppers over the river. I decided to head out the end of Pier 45 to see what the root of this flurry was, upon which I saw this slate beast heading up the river towards me. (along with at least 40 other boats and a dozen helicopters) What a site to see this gorgeous vessel, crafted from the steel of remnants of the WTC, stride around the city. I felt great pride for our country and was reminded of the career my grandfather served courageously in our Navy.
Yes, that’s right. Marianne and I (Bruno too) are moving out of Cincinnati to New York City! Marianne recently accepted a new position and account with her current agency, Momentum Worldwide, operating out of their NYC office in Soho. This was an opportunity we could not pass up, as we both have always had aspirations of moving out of Cincy to a big city. Great news for me is that my current employer, Barefoot, was more than happy to keep me on board, so I will continue to work for them remotely from New York.
The plan is for the move to take place in June, pending the sale of both of our houses. (Drop me a line if you know anyone looking in the Oakley/Hyde Park area) At this point, we have no clue where we’ll live in New York. Definitely somewhere South of Midtown, or possibly Brooklyn, and not New Jersey. If you have any opinions or insight of where to live please let me know.
These next couple months are going to be insane, but will all be worth it once we are settled in the Big Apple and get to continue on with this exciting new chapter of our lives.
