After nine long and expensive months, I am pleased to say we now have a clean title on our apartment. Also, as an added bonus, THEY (ya know, the MAN and his goons) can no longer seize my apartment if the guy across the hall defaults on his mortgage. Who would have ever thought it would [...]

I’ve never sued anyone before. Let’s take the positive approach here. You’re supposed to try one new thing every day, right? Well today’s new activity will be suing a bank. Hoo-frickin-ray. You guessed it – all is going rather poorly in my quest to move to Maplewood. Move…aw HELL…all is going poorly in my quest to make [...] Holy niftiness, Batman! As you well know, I’ve been desperately pining for a little patch of dirt ever since I moved to the city. I often daydream about what veggies I would cram into the fictitious garden I tend in my head. There would be kale, brussel sprouts, strawberries, and tomatoes. Copious quantities of tomatoes! Nothing [...] The Big Day Five years ago today I tricked that poor hapless bastard into marrying me. We beat cancer together. He worked at least as hard as I did – probably more so. He arranged baby-sitters, missed gobs of work, and even gave up his ticket to see the last ever game at the old Yankee Stadium. [...] Two months later, we’ve finally heard back from our title company. The news ain’t good. I guess it isn’t horrible, either. First, let me back track and catch you up. Many years ago in a magical land called Washington Heights, our hero (I won’t use the feminine version in case Thom reads this – you know his [...] Just when it seemed that things were getting boring, Rocco went downstairs to collect the mail. Special delivery on a Saturday brings us my OFFICIAL LEGAL NOTICE from the Hoboken City Municipal Court. I tell you, direct mailers are getting really creepy these days. Can’t wait to see what limited time offer I get to refuse [...] I’m sitting on a pastel plaid couch listening to the sea and breathing. The only boxes I can see are those housing board games. Every now and again a Frisbee flies above the top of the dunes and pops into vision. It’s a nice break from the desolate wasteland that is our apartment. And where’s poor Rocco? [...] I gotta tell ya – I’ve had better days. We are officially staying in Hoboken and killing the deal for the place in Maplewood, termites and all. It’s one thing to juggle happy stress, quite another for the unhappy kind. Running ourselves ragged and living in a land of mess was bearable when there was a [...] I really don’t even know what to say at this point. I mean, I knew today would suck. Today was the day of packing. Well, technically it’s been the month of packing but today was crunch day. With the closing only two days away and the movers scheduled for 9am on Wednesday, this was the day [...] Lucy in a box I suppose it’s time to suck it up and write more about the house booshit. My house is a disaster and I’m literally sitting on a box as I type. Soon I’ll box up the desktop (yes she has a name but it’s explicit and I haven’t had a mimosa so I’m [...] |
