This has been a particularly trying year for me personally, and I am considering a brief summer trip to Los Angeles. I am in a short term apartment which I give up May 1st, and am planning to take my finals, balancing time between NJ and my parents house in PA, and taking the summer to spend on the west coast.
I love LA. I love NY too, but every trip out to the city of angels i fall more and more in love. It could be a case of the grass is always greener on the other side, but in the case of the two cases, NY has rotting grass and LA has brand new, fake AstroTurf. My work is steady here, and I have companies that run absentee, and with a recent divorce.. I feel I have nothing to lose.
Wish me luck

I dont care about your opinion
Well, most of the time.. When I read an opinion piece, or even start reading any piece, I consider the source. I do not listen to much news, as I feel it completely biased, and only occasionally read the paper (NY Times only), but I get my news from a variety of sources, and then choose to research topics that pique my interest. This has worked for me, as I get to evaluate the source and if I do not feel it credible, I then can redirect my search to find something better.
Often, the opinion has liberal or conservative bias, and I just want the facts, so no, I do not listen to, or even read most opinions that are printed.
Rarely, on superficial matters, I will indulge.. but this is only on issues like cars or clothing.. not news or issues that have a potential to impact the way I live, work, or get paid.

Spring is in the Air
Look outside.. its nice out. Very nice. I cannot wait for this snow to melt and to get back outdoors. It seems every year that cabin fever sets in so much that when the spring/summer does finally come, my kids and I dont know what to do with ourselves. I love the array of seasons in the northeast, but nothing is as good as spring.
From first taking the soccer fields, to spending afternoons at the park, to bicycling through the Palisades. Outdoor play dates, and exploring the city on Saturday afternoons. I am ready.
My favorite days of spring are when the air is soft, and the leaves are coming in and the grass is damp from the frost still at night, the smell when you walk out in the morning.. there is nothing like it.
I will be patiently waiting for these days, and there are so few when the elements are just right to make the perfect morning.
