Well Helllooooo !!!

Wow, it's been what... TWO YEARS since my last confession??  Forgive me Xanga, for I have not BLOG'd.

Been real busy, you know, like quitting my job in DC and moving-up to NYC to start a new one, leave behind five years.  Five years of friends, monuments, museums, restaurants, bars, clubs, churches and charities.

But moving from one center of the world to a slightly bigger one is not such a big deal.  Everyone is friendly and helpful.  People understand that it can be a huge transition, and that helps.  After less than a year now, I know where to find the best sake in town, the juiciest hamburgers, the closest Trader Joe's, that a Farmer's Market sets-up across from my apartment building on Wednesdays (rain or shine), and that I have my choice of at least two Korean-American churches or my preferred multi-ethnic Redeemer Presbyterian near Central Park.

Venues: Watched Camera Obscura play a free concert at South Port Seaport's Pier 18 (WOWSERS!!), the "amazing" Mets lose in Shea Stadium, Yao Ming beat the Knicks in Madison Square Garden, and won tickets to a Master Works performance of Handel's Messiah at Carnegie Hall for the same day that I was to fly out of JFK back to Cali.

Math: Tutoring Grade 3-5 kids at an inner city school in Brooklyn on Saturdays.  Pass the State exams please!!

Church: Still shopping, but Pastor Tim Keller at Redeemer is pretty good.

Vote 2008: GObama!  Uh-huh, GObama!  Alright, GObama!
