All those Brooklyn girls

E-word,

So glad we're back at it. Scotland, we'll have to sit down some time and talk about you trip, I'm very curious. We can get a map out or something, and follow your trip from location to location. I don't know England well at all, really, somehow my ignorant ass thought Scotland was a separate island or something.

I hear you on wanting to get your own place, I can understand that upon coming back from a trip somewhere you want to sleep somewhere that really feels like home, be it an apartment or a house or whatever. El has to go through that far too often. I don't think our NY apartment really feels all that homey compared to our real home.

It's been an interesting coule of weeks. We got back from our own trip to Mexico last weekend. We flew into Mexico City and stayed in a small pueblo named Yautepec, which is about a 90 minute drive from the airport. It was a good first trip to Mexico, visiting towns like Taxco and Tepotzlan left a better taste than I think going to Cancun or Acapulco would have.

I also spent this last weekend in NY. I went to Brooklyn for essentially the first time, and made up my mind that if I do move here, Brooklyn is where I would live. I loved it, it actually felt like DC in a lot of ways, at least the Smith Street area. Low buildings and townhouses, a much more neighborhoody kind of place, like Dupont Circle.

E-word, I'm not depressed, exactly, but I find I'm becoming one of those guys who reminsces maybe too much about the past, about the 'glory days' or something. Oh, I don't know. I get by, maybe it's sad that I feel like the best days are past me. I don't know.
