Here are some views of my new work environs in the Financial District.
Murray Street – food shops and such
Tulips on the Glass – Brookfield Place
Models on the Glass – outside Brookfield Place
Behind building (excuse my thumb, upper left corner)
My favorite view (non-glass)
What though the radiance
which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass,
of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
–William Wordsworth
My best wishes to all for a glorious Memorial Day weekend!
There is so much beauty in NYC. You are in a great location.
Love the post title. ☺

My daughter works in SoHo, moved to Putnam County. Now 2 hours, door to door. She and husband say that it’s worth it ??? ☺

Yes, my commute is now 2 hours each way. I don’t think it’s worth it.

It seems like so many are doing that kind of commute. It’s a sacrifice. They traded Brooklyn for the woods. So far, no regrets. But it’s only been a few months.

Then it’s good for them. My husband and I are planning to move. We are already working with an attorney and realtor to sell the house. Tired of the rat race.

Yikes! Two hours each way= 4hrs=1/2 of a work day.
How can anything be worth that!!?? – unless of course, you are raking in mega bucks.
Yes NYC offers many splendors- glass and otherwise- yet it takes its toll of those who have gone
beyond buoyant twenty-somethings.
‘ If you ain’t usin’ “IT” – “IT” will use you. As if some psychic vampire, sucking the life force from
your soul….
At least you have Lorin, Bernie and the crew to come home to and feel the love.
Enjoy your respite, while having a thought or two, ‘in memory’ for all those who gave all
so that now, “we” can have a “holiday” -even if so many
of our modern day conflicts abroad were brought about by sick, greedy power freaks,
who lied to advance their own agenda in the name of, “National Security”- and not to the
benefit of their fellow citizens.
Yes! leave the race to the rats…
Wish youz guyz every success with the move and beyond.

Nope, not worth it. I’m making a good wage, but not mega bucks, so definitely not worth it. Hope all is well with you and your family, TC. Thank you for your service to our country. It is indeed because of those who sacrificed their lives that we can enjoy this 3-day weekend.

I like the tulips on glass – do they change the flowers with the seasons or is tulips all year round?

Good question, Mary. I think they remain tulips but I could be wrong. Just started working here last Monday.
