After a lengthy stretch of largely contented residence on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Mrs. T and I are exchanging Central Park West for Fort Tryon Park and moving uptown to Washington Heights later this week. Our goal was to find a larger apartment in a quiet, comfortable neighborhood that can be reached easily by subway, and we think we’ve succeeded. Needless to say, the proof of the pudding is in the living, and I’ll keep you abreast of how our new life in Washington Heights shapes up.
For the moment, though, our immediate concern is transferring several thousand books and compact discs and some two dozen works of art from Apartment No. 1 to Apartment No. 2, a task that I expect will keep both of us preoccupied for the next few days (at least!). To this end, I won’t be doing any blogging this week outside of the usual daily postings.
I hope to be back again next Monday. In the meantime, please send lovely thoughts our way as we tear up our old lives and march anxiously toward the future….
