better that way

I have never understood how people can list a house and live in it at the same time, particularly with the chaos of moving, and when children or pets are involved. It doesn't seem human. It is better to move out first. Say goodbye to the house and move on to your new life.
Denver is very nice. Brooklyn is very nice. Yesterday the New York Times devoted its entire food section to a discussion of delivered food. Apparently now in New York nearly every cuisine can be delivered, not just Chinese and the corner deli, as in the past. An entire two open pages inside was devoted to different neighborhoods and its good restaurants that deliver. I was surprised to find that one of the areas covered was Smith Street in Brooklyn. That's right near where I will be living! I felt the first stirrings of optimism. We will be horribly poor in New York, but maybe in some ways our lives will be richer. And not only because people will bring Pad Thai right to our door.
