I'm Back.

The summer months have been pretty hectic. Between our move to Kew Gardens, Pam (the spousal unit) finishing school and other assorted shenanigans it's been busy. Also settling down in the new diggs hasn't been what you call smooth. Getting used to the neighborhood as well as the proximity of the LIRR to our apartment has been a chore. The good news is that the new apt is decidedly cooler on the hot days than our old apt. The bad news is that while utilities are included in our rent they charge you for every AC that you put in. So right now there's only one AC in the apt and that's in our bedroom. Kyle isnt really effected by the heat all that much but when we think that it's too hot he comes into our room and sleeps with us (which he looooooves by the way).

The neighborhood is nice and it's a bit of walk to the subway but it's not that bad. At least in the summer it isnt, in the winter it might be a different story. Also my neighborhood is the neighborhood where the infamous Kitty Genovese case took place. Although Kew Gardens seems to be generally safer neighborhood now.
