The Move

Imagine moving to a new city. What could you hope for on your first day there? I suppose the first thing you would want to sort out is accommodation. It's a big city with a tough housing market. You luck out — the very first place you visit has lots of light, is in a great area of town, and to top things off has a beautiful rooftop with a view. You click with the housemate. Done deal.

Next up is some kind of work. You make a call and set up a meeting for the beginning of the following week to get started.

Anything else? Some entertainment maybe. A night at the Metropolitan Opera watching Anna Netrebko in Romeo & Juliet.

You can see why, traipsing around town in constant rain with soaked shoes, I was happy as could be. Welcome to New York.

Hey SB,
Are you serious or not? Is my Thanksgiving turkey going to be served in a room with a view? Can't wait, because we currently have no place to live in WH.

M says that she and D are shortly to become homeless too. She hopes the flat is as spacious as you say it is.

Off to Kerala tomorrow. Good luck with the job if all that you say is true.

Very serious! No catch to my post, at least not yet. With so much good fortune, something is bound to go wrong soon so don't be surprised to find me jobless by Thanksgiving. We'll have to sort out where to have it when you're back from roaming the globe (and packing up my things for me).

Sounds like the PTB are indicating that you are in the right place at the right time. Congrats!
