Michael's home! It's been a long time...since Thanksgiving actually. We picked him up at the airport in Islip (a much less expensive flight). Then we drove to Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights to sign a lease on our new apartment. That's right folks - your read it first here. Our buyer's got a mortgage and we've been out looking for a new place to live ... after 26 years on West End Avenue in Manhattan Beach.
We found a beautiful apartment on Underhill Avenue in the Prospect Heights section of downtown Brooklyn. A neighborhood that's been on the way "up" over the last few years. "Up" refers to gentrification and very high rents. That's the way it looks anyhow. A few years ago you couldn't give these places away. Now they sell for millions and rent for thousands. Wealthier folks moving in. Poor folks being pushed out. That's capitalism...ain't it grand??

It's so nice having Mike around. He living in Nashville is not conducive to seeing our son as often as we'd like. And so these are very rewarding visits. We decided we would drive up to Mystic, Connecticut tomorrow (Friday) and be a whole family once again. That's where Dani is (and her two dogs). More on that in my next blog.
