NYC apartment update

We were down in NYC this weekend looking at apartments -- saw about 9 places in 2 days, ranging from a few nonstarters (tiny 1BRs) to a couple that we would definitely be happy with. However, at this point we're expecting to go back down in 2 weeks to view a second round, since we really would prefer an August 15 lease rather than August 1 anyway.

Theatrical highlights from the weekend, in the meantime, included Death Valley (a zombie Western! it got reviewed in the Times this weekend!) at the Bushwick Starr in Brooklyn, and Master Class (about Maria Callas, a revival starring Tyne Daly, hooray for student rush tickets) on Broadway. I am almost, but not really, sorry to say that I enjoyed the second much less than the first.

Many thanks to jessruth for hosting us, even in partial absentia!
