Spring in Brooklyn

Yeah, I too wish I could think of a better title for this post. But, it's true. Spring has finally gotten here (hello, longest winter EVER!).
And now it's time to be outside and play. The sun is shining, the weather is warmer (mid-60s today) and the flowers are all in bloom. It's pretty much amazing.

All of a sudden it was July 31st.

Which meant that I had been here for a year. Which meant that i made it through my first year of my new job. And my first year in NYC. And not just made it through, I had a ton of fun! I never would have guessed that I would like it this much.

Playground for adults

I've decided that NYC is just one big playground for adults. Sure, there are jobs and Times Square (please make me never go back there) and plays and all the other stuff that tourists visit. And then there is the fun for the rest of us! It's amazing really.

Local wanderings

Last weekend, I spent an afternoon wandering Greenpoint with a friend. Even though I am coming up on my one-year anniversary in NYC, there is still so much more to explore. I am finding my way around these days, and can somewhat navigate the subway system, but there is still so much more to explore!
