Reno Update....

OK, I was just kidding. There is no update on the renovation. At this point, perhaps not decamping for a temporary apartment and living through the Manhattan renovation stress and frustration might be better than an upheaval - especially for wonder-cat who is now a bit more than 20 years old .

The good news is that despite the economy, at the moment Jay and I are still bringing in enough to pay the mortgage and maintenance and have enough left over for human and kittie treats. Sadly, that's not so for many here in our neighborhood. Our proximity to Downtown Manhattan means that many people in Greenwich Village are in the finance and banking businesses. And it seems that several people that used to disappear by 6:45am and return no earlier than 7pm are now around in the afternoon, dressed much more casually than last month. Not a good sign. Seems we'll all just have to hunker down until the storm has passed, and hope we don't get buffeted (unless it's Warren Buffeted) by the storm surge.

Sorry - while I'm quite happy to not have any life upheavals to report, I know this post isn't very interesting... :-(
