...Quick trip to NYC

So j and I just got back from Manhattan this afternoon. We went for the Louisville-Seton Hall game (I don't want to talk about it), and stayed with j's best friend since high school. I love going to NYC, and since we've been staying with friends, we've been able to actually see how people our age and (roughly) education level live. It's cramped because space really is as expensive as you've heard, but it's also great because there are so many restaurants, corner stores, and public transportation. I actually would love to live in there for a year, just for the experience, but I just don't know that it will ever happen. Ever since I heard the stories of my oldest brother taking both of his sons (age 1 and 3 at the time) on the subways with him, I've had reoccurring visions of me riding the subway with my own kid in a stroller, j and I hanging out in Central Park, and going to games at Yankee stadium (still hope to do this year before they close it next year). I'm not a Yankees fan, but you can't beat the history. Anyway, just thought I would share...
